Thanks for this advice: I want to stay away from source...far away... :-) I'm running woody, which I should have said before... woody doesn't seem to have zope-popyda or zope-psycopgda, at least not yet. Oh well. Perhaps I should get them from sid? Russell
checking for PQconnectStart in -lpq... no configure: error: can't build without PostgreSQL libraries
Assuming you have apt installed and correctly configured (on an up to date Debian/sid):
keuner:~$ apt-cache --names-only search zope-p | grep Database zope-popyda - A Database Adapter connecting Zope and PostgreSQL zope-psycopgda - Zope Database Adapter based on python-psycopg zope-pygresqlda - A Zope Database Adapter for PostgreSQL
Hence, as root: # apt-get install zope-popyda zope-psycopgda zope-pygresqlda
If you insist on installing from source, you need some -dev packages, notably postgresql-dev.
