Re: compiling on debian does not find a valid PostgreSQL 8.4+ installati

Hi Guillaume,
thanks for spending your time on this topic. I was really missing both
packages postgresql-server-dev-{8.4,9.0}, but even after installing
them, I still get the same error:

I read that you tried on debian 6, while I am compiling in unstable. I
prefer unstable since current unstable will be the next stable realease,
the first one that will ship with pgadmin 1.14.

I did not have much time for finding a solution. I will try to work it
out today or tomorrow.

Bye,
Giuseppe
