Re: Cant find libpq-fe.h

I've found that, on occasion, the pathnames given in a ".h" file that call
for the inclusion of another ".h" file can be wrong.

Here's what I do:

  1. Make sure that the file that can't be found is actually installed on
     your machine.  If not, determine where it may be located - package,
     rpm, Web, wherever - and install it.  Make note of its location on
     your machine.
  2. Take a look at the contents of the ".h" file that is calling for it -
     in your case it's the "Pg.h" file.  Find the "#include" line that
     corresponds to the file that it said it couldn't find.  Is it
     correct?  That is, does it give a correct path, either absolute or
     relative, to the file it couldn't find?  If the line is incorrect,
     edit the ".h" file so that the offending line represents the correct
     path.
  3. Run "make" again.

Hope this helps.
