Linux: How to install DBD::Pg module?

Postgres DB is already installed. I'm not using system perl I have installed another perl in "/srv/data203806/Migration/CPAN/localperl/bin". When I'm trying to install, It is asking for PATH TO pg_config:

[root1@frmrszvwb023 bin]# ./cpan install DBD::Pg
Reading '/root/.cpan/Metadata'
  Database was generated on Fri, 07 Mar 2014 03:53:02 GMT
Running install for module 'DBD::Pg'
Running make for T/TU/TURNSTEP/DBD-Pg-3.0.0.tar.gz
Checksum for /root/.cpan/sources/authors/id/T/TU/TURNSTEP/DBD-Pg-3.0.0.tar.gz ok

Solution

  • You have to install libpq-dev, e.g. on Ubuntu:

    sudo apt-get install libpq-dev
