Fedora Core 2 RPMs (of Fedora) provide pg_config: [devrim@lc ~]$ rpm -qlp postgresql-devel-7.4.2-1.i386.rpm |grep pg_config /usr/bin/pg_config /usr/include/pg_config.h /usr/include/pg_config_manual.h /usr/include/pg_config_os.h /usr/include/pgsql/server/pg_config.h /usr/include/pgsql/server/pg_config_manual.h /usr/include/pgsql/server/pg_config_os.h /usr/share/man/man1/pg_config.1.gz However, I suggest you to upgrade to PGDG RPMs since even their legacy updates have 7.4.8, but the current version is 7.4.12: http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/binary/v7.4.12/rpms/fedora/fedora-core-2/ (postgresql-devel package includes pg_config) Also, you may want to upgrade to latest version: http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/binary/v8.1.3/linux/rpms/fedora/fedora- core-2/ Regards, -- The PostgreSQL Company - Command Prompt, Inc. 1.503.667.4564 PostgreSQL Replication, Consulting, Custom Development, 24x7 support Managed Services, Shared and Dedicated Hosting Co-Authors: PL/php, plPerlNG - http://www.commandprompt.com/
