Hi,

After suffering a painful and recurring system-crash, I tried installing a
fresh svn checkout on a new ubuntu 7.10 (x86_64) but was unable to compile
pgadmin. Although I got around the issue, the frustrating thing was that the
configure script kept insisting that software A was missing when actually it
was a (dependent) software B that was missing instead.

I don't know if it helps but this is what I noted during this ordeal. (I
don't know if this is normal but I thought that mention of this in the
INSTALL file could have been of immense help to me)

*./configure *
Error was about postgresql missing when actually libpq-dev was missing
Error was about libxml2 when actually libxml2-dev was missing
Error was about libxslt when actulaly libxslt-dev was missing

*./configure --enable-debug*
Error was about libwxgtk2.8 missing when actually libwxgtk2.8-dbg /
libwxbase2.8-dbg were missing.

*Robins*
