            <p>The PHP installation I described <a href="573.html">yesterday</a> had another twist, this time to do with the postgresql extension.</p>
            <p><a href="http://fedora.redhat.com">Fedora Core 3</a> distribution includes the RPMs for <a href="https://www.postgresql.org">postgresql</a>, the version is 7.4.6. Before <a href="000557.html">upgrading to fedora</a> I used to have a postgres 7.4.5 installed from source. Since I seemed to have doing nothing but <em>./configure, make, make install</em> for the past month attempting to recompile either version from source was ruled out, but the RPM installation does not seem to have the libpq-fe.h and as a result php will not compile:</p>
            <p><code>Cannot find libpq-fe.h. Please specify correct PostgreSQL installation path</code></p>
            <p>The trick is to install just the header files and not the full applications. To do this change into the <em>src/includes</em> and <em>src/interfaces</em> folders in your postgresql source tree. Then do a make and make install. Folow it up by ./configure --with-pgsql as usual in your php source tree and then a make and make install.</p>
            <p>That still leaves me with out the GD extension. When will this ever end?</p>
