[GENERAL] libpq++ installation error

[jubeh]

I am trying to install and compile libpq++ i get this error

 

configure: error:
Can't find libpq-fe.h in .  Are you sure the libpq
headers are installed correctly?  They should be in the directory returned by
"pg_config --includedir".

If you do have libpq (the C-language client library for PostgreSQL) installed,
make sure you have the related development materials--mainly its header files--
as well as the library binary.  Some system distributions keep the two in
seperate packages with names like "alibrary" and "alibrary-dev", respectively.
In that case, make sure you have the latter installed as well.

 

i have cheacked  pg_config --includedir it gave me a correct path also i checked the include directory i found the requsted header file there

 

regards

I am not very good at this but you might wanna try -I (--include) compile option for the path ...../postgresql-8.x.x/src/include and try if it works ...

thanks,

The standard placing for the files is /usr/lib for libpq and
/usr/include for the header files.

These paths should be standard search paths for gcc

I believe the linux installs have these files as part of the devel
install - the postgresql-devel-xxx rpm - you will need to install that.

If you have done a manual setup and build from source then /usr would be
replaced with the prefix path used (./configure --prefix=...)
eg. /usr/local/pgsql/lib is a common one.

For gcc HEADER_SEARCH_PATHS is used for headers and LIBRARY_SEARCH_PATHS
for libs. Or -I can be used as an option to gcc and -L with ld when
linking. eg gcc -I /usr/local/pgsql/include myprog.c

With windows the include files and libraries are an optional extra.

I think the older installer was setup a bit different - you may need to
select custom install. When you get to install options you will find
Development at the bottom of the list, here you can select to have the
include files and libraries installed.

You will find them in the same folder as the other files installed.
This is in normally C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.x
