perl dbi:pg

You got the wrong file if you want
dbd:pg

It's called
DBD-Pg-0.95.tar.gz
for my version

Also those environment variables should
be set to directory.

So you need LIB=.../lib
etc

I got the pgsql_perl5-1.9.0.tar.gz from CPAN.
I set the variables POSTGRES_LIB=/usr/local/pgsql/lib/libpq.so
and POSTGRES_INCLUDE=/path_to_/libpq-fe.h
However then it complains that it can't find postgres_ext.h

POSTGRES_LIB and POSTGRES_INCLUDE must point to directories, not files.

Keep in mind that this is NOT DBD::Pg -- you are using the native Perl
interface. DBD::Pg is a different module on CPAN.

Thanks for your help.
I think I got the right perl package now, however I still have a problem
compiling the DBD:pg

make

This is still incorrect. Typically, POSTGRES_INCLUDE will point to
/usr/local/pgsql/include, and POSTGRES_LIB will point to
/usr/local/pgsql/lib, assuming you have PostgreSQL installed under
/usr/local/pgsql. If you installed via RPM, your PostgreSQL includes and
libraries may be under /usr/include and /usr/lib, respectively.
