when I run ./configure I get:

./configure --with-python=/home/zope/bin/python --with-postgres-libraries=/u sr/postgres/lib --with-post gres-includes=/usr/postgres/include

and some other combinations without effect.

I am a bit confused, because I can't remember a problem on my previous installation on RedHat 6.2. Do I have to build the /usr/lib/python1.5/config/Makefile somehow? why are the PostgreSQL Libraries not found?

Any clues? Thanks in advance!

How did you install Postgres? Some of the RPM distros don't include all of the libraries. Maybe try reinstalling Postgres from the source tarball. -- | Casey Duncan | Kaivo, Inc. | cduncan@kaivo.com `------------------>
