Hi,
I am running RedHat Linux v5.2, with their version of Postgres
removed from the system (it had been installed, v6.3.? maybe 2). I have
succeeded in downloading, building, installing, and running Postgres 6.4.2,
and needed to install the Pg package (pgsql_perl5) in order to complete some
work here. However, much to my dismay, I could not get pgsql_perl5 to
compile.
When I attempt to compile, I get the following messages:
gcc -c -I/usr/local/pgsql/include -Dbool=char -DHAS_BOOL -O2 -DVERSION=\"1.8.0\" -DXS_VERSION=\"1.8.0\" -fpic -I/usr/lib/perl5/5.00555/i686-linux/CORE Pg.c

I have not encountered any prior problems with the perl installation,
nor had I encountered any problems with the previous Postgres installation
(the one that came as an rpm with the 5.2 distribution) -- other than that I
was unable to build the Pg module for that version, either, which is what led
me to download this version.
You will surely notice that I have specified the full path to the
installed version of Postgres, via the POSTGRES_HOME environment variable. I
have also tried the compile without specifying the location of the installed
Postgres, to no avail.
I also thought that perhaps the code depended on having the correct
version of ecpg being installed, but was able to ensure that the old version
was gone from my system before I attempted to do the compiles.
Any suggestions as to how I can get around this would be greatly
appreciated, as I would like to use Postgres for a project we're working on,
and the deadline is Monday of next week.
Thanks in advance....
Brendan
PS. It'd also be nice if the README file mentioned that one has to be a
member of the pgsql-interfaces list in order to submit a bug report
to it.
