Thanks for your detailed report. One question remains: Why does PHP need C++? It doesn't make use of any C++ feature, so a normal C compiler should be enough. I don't know where RH installs PostgreSQL by default or which features it lacks there, but you should have - some include files in $pgsql_root/include - some libraries in $pgsql_root/lib Or is that another sign of RH screwing up? Maybe you need some pgsql-devel RPM? You 100% don't need a C++ compiler. > I can't be sure this is what is really going on, but it seems > to fit the cycle I went through to get PHP to compile, though > not with PostgreSQL yet. Well, what always works is to compile from source. -- Regards, Sascha Schumann Consultant
