libpq-fe.h ???
Hi all, I tried to install the Rdbi_0.1-2.tar.gz and Rdbi.PgSQL_0.1-2 package. The Rdbi_0.1-2.tar.gz installed fine but the Rdbi.PgSQL_0.1-2 had some problems. The compilation routine tried to find a header called libpq-fe.h but did not find it in the standard locations. I searched through the computer but did not find a file called in this way either. What should I do to successuffly install this package? In the Netleters introduction to R/GRASS interface there is no mention about this problems. The PostgreSQL_7.2.1 Users guide states: "Frontend programs that use libpq must include the header file libpq-fe.h and must link with the libpq library." Is Libpq a package that can be downloaded and how should I create this header and make a link to it? I use R 1.6.2.1 and PostgreSQL 7.2 with RedHat 7.3.

Use --with-pgsql-includes=PATH; if running R's INSTALL, use --configure-args='--with-pgsql-includes=PATH'; or set PG_INCLUDE_DIR in your environment to the library path, and rerun the configure/install.
