Thanks, yes, it was the devel RPM I needed. Sorry, I should really
have spotted that - it was late!

Actually, given that the devel RPM puts includes in /usr/include,
which can then be used by seperate apps that interface with pgsql, is
there not an argument for including headers in the base or server RPM?
The devel RPM isn't the first thing that occurs when compiling a
different app.

(I'm sure there are good reasons!)

Thanks for your help.
