Dear Knowlegable People:
I was overcome with joy when Postgres installed on the server seamlessly. That
doesn't seem to happen often with things I do. However, when I tried to
install Pg.pm (by the "perl -MCPAN -e -shell" method), I ran into problems.
Part of the error message is:
"please set environment variables POSTGRES_INCLUDE and POSTGRES_LIB !".
Where/how do I do this? (I'm pretty new to Linux, and the job of maintaining
this server was an "emergency overtaking" that I was stuck with.) Below are
the details you request in your "if you have problems" comment. I also included
details which might otherwise be helpful. If you can pull my fat out of the
fire on this one, I'll appreciate it forever.
Thanx For Your Help,
Bill Tuck
