Re: PostgreSQL/Perl

You need to set the two environment variables to point at
the postgres lib and include directory

    POSTGRES_INCLUDE=/usr/include/pgsql
    POSTGRESQL_LIB=/usr/lib
    export POSTGRES_INCLUDE POSTGRES_LIB
or 
    setenv POSTGRES_INCLUDE /usr/include/pgsql
    setenv POSTGRESQL_LIB /usr/lib

depending on your shell
[download]

The location of these directories will vary depending on how
you installed postgresql
Hope this helps

In my case it looks like: `export POSTGRES_HOME=/usr/local/pgsql export PGLIB=$POSTGRES_HOME/lib export PGDATA=$POSTGRES_HOME/data export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PGLIB export PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/local/pgsql/bin:$PATH` [download] inside .bashrc. Hanamaki	[reply] [d/l]

Can do those commands from anywhere or do they have to be done from inside the directories?	[reply]

Usually you put these commands into .bashrc, .bash_profile or wherever your systems looks for Environmental variables. Of course you can type these command all the time you reboot your system, but that doesn't seem very comfortable. Hanamaki	[reply]

Do these variables have to be set before I do make test and make install?	[reply]
