I tried both the fink package (installed the package postgresql-shlibs as well), which is based on 7.2.3, and compiled 7.3rc1 myself. With the fink package, it won't find libpq-fe.h (it ain't there, as far as I can make out, i.e. I ran a find on the entire fink tree). With 7.3rc1, I get an error upon running ./configure --with-pgsql=/usr/local/pgsql: +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ | *** ATTENTION *** | | | | Something is likely to be messed up here, because the configure | | script was not able to detect a simple feature on your platform. | | This is often caused by incorrect configuration parameters.
