And in any case we're not going to put in anything as platform-specific as suggesting that you might need a -devel RPM (to say nothing of the similar but not identical packaging conventions on other platforms). I think that's just something you have to know about if you're building software on Red Hat-based platforms. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
