Re: Complete breakdown of pgadmin when trying to connect to server or modify properties of tables of views

First I tried once more with

> ./configure --with-pgsql=/usr --with-wx=/usr/local

but configure now stops with:

checking for strchr... yes
checking for PQexec in libpq.a... present
checking for SSL_connect in libpq.a... present
checking for krb5_free_principal in libpq.a... present
checking libpq-fe.h usability... yes
checking libpq-fe.h presence... yes
checking for libpq-fe.h... yes
checking PostgreSQL in /usr... ok
checking for PQgetOutResult in libpq.a... not present
checking wxWidgets version... ok
checking wxWidgets in /usr/local... failed
configure: error: Your wxWidgets installation cannot support pgAdmin in the
sele
cted configuration. This may be because it was configured without
the --enable-u
nicode option, or the combination of dynamic/static linking and
debug/non-debug
libraries selected did not match any installed wxWidgets libraries.

I compiled the wxWidgets with the -enable-unicode option. Therefore I followed
your advice and controlled if the devel packages are installed.
The postgresql- and gtk2-devels are installed but as I compiled the wxWidget
from the tarball I think the sources of this package are not (and I didn't
install the devel from the distribution because I suppose that there would be
some considerable differences).
As I don't know how to install sources from a tarball I tried to create a
source.rpm in order to install it but then configure complained:

error: Failed build dependencies: gtk+-2.0-devel is needed by
wx-gtk2-unicode-2.8.7-0.i586

although gtk2-devel is installed. Sorry, but I must confess that this is going
beyond my installation-skills...

For pgadmin I suppose this is right, but recently I tried Fedora 8 and for
other purposes I found some inconveniences so I decided to stick to OSS...
I never tried seriously other distributions because of lack of time.
