What it was looking for: checking whether to enable PostgreSQL support... yes checking for PGSQL... no checking default locations for libpq... found in /usr/local/pgsql/lib checking default locations for libpq-fe.h... found in /usr/local/pgsql/include And from the configure file: { $as_echo "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: checking default locations for libpq-fe.h" >&5 $as_echo_n "checking default locations for libpq-fe.h... " >&6; } if test -r /usr/include/libpq-fe.h; then PGSQL_CFLAGS="-I/usr/include" { $as_echo "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: result: found in /usr/include" >&5 $as_echo "found in /usr/include" >&6; } elif test -r /usr/include/postgresql/libpq-fe.h; then PGSQL_CFLAGS="-I/usr/include/postgresql" { $as_echo "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: result: found in /usr/include/postgresql" >&5 $as_echo "found in /usr/include/postgresql" >&6; } elif test -r /usr/local/include/libpq-fe.h; then PGSQL_CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include" { $as_echo "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: result: found in /usr/local/include" >&5 $as_echo "found in /usr/local/include" >&6; } elif test -r /usr/local/pgsql/include/libpq-fe.h; then PGSQL_CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/pgsql/include" { $as_echo "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: result: found in /usr/local/pgsql/include" >&5 $as_echo "found in /usr/local/pgsql/include" >&6; } else { $as_echo "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: result: not found" >&5 $as_echo "not found" >&6; } _save_CFLAGS="$CFLAGS" CFLAGS="$CFLAGS $PGSQL_CFLAGS" ac_fn_c_check_header_mongrel "$LINENO" "libpq-fe.h" "ac_cv_header_libpq_fe_h" "$ac_includes_default" if test "x$ac_cv_header_libpq_fe_h" = xyes; then : So it is looking in the default source install locations. The RPMs I believe install in different locations.
