I'm trying to compile libpqxx 7.0.5 and It's having problems finding the postgresql libraries, which I have installed.
I have installed both postgresql and postgresql-libs. Why is giving me this error?.
The configure script stops at this:
configure: using PostgreSQL headers at
configure: using PostgreSQL libraries at
checking /libpq-fe.h usability... no
checking /libpq-fe.h presence... no
checking for /libpq-fe.h... no
configure: error:
Can't find libpq-fe.h in . Are you sure the libpq
headers are installed correctly? They should be in the directory returned by
"pg_config --includedir" or "pkg-config libpq --cflags".
If you do have libpq (the C-language client library for PostgreSQL) installed,
make sure you have the related development materials--mainly its header files--
as well as the library binary. Some system distributions keep the two in
seperate packages with names like "alibrary" and "alibrary-dev", respectively.
In that case, make sure you have the latter installed as well.
The file is indeed inside my /usr/include directory.
I figured out how to get this working. I needed to add the directory to where the libraries are.
./configure --with-postgres-include='/usr/include'
Doing this everything works!.
Also I downgrade libpqxx to version 7.0.3.
