Re: [ADMIN] Re: [GENERAL] Re: DBD-Pg Install problems

well let's see rpm -ql postgresql-devel
lists the following directorys as having files

/usr/lib/pgsql
/usr/include/pgsql

so now what do i set POSTGRES_HOME to to get this to work? It would be nice had
it been /usr/pgsql/include and /usr/pgsql/lib but it is not that way.

so do I have to hack the Makefile? Why is it that PostgreSQL has a different
directory structure for the same version on different distributions? I just want
to get this thing installed and working.
