Hi,

I am autoconfiscating a project that has a header file with a line:

#include<postgresql/libpq-fe.h>

configure.ac has:

AC_CHECK_HEADERS(postgresql/libpq-fe.h)

Please get in the habit of correct m4 quoting:

AC_CHECK_HEADERS([postgresql/libpq-fe.h])


The problem is that Ubuntu has such a header file on
/usr/include/postgresq  but fedora has it on  /usr/include. So how can
I make that configure script checks  for differents paths?

By altering CFLAGS (either by the user as command-line arguments to ./configure, or in your configure.ac while being careful to honor the user's additional CFLAGS settings) to include the correct -I compiler options prior to your AC_CHECK_HEADERS use.
