Richard,
I'm certainly not the guru on the subject, and I haven't had any time to
devote to the project here in the recent past (pitter patter of little
feet soon), but it looks like the --with-postgresql option is to specify
where your PostgreSQL header files. This is probably under
/usr/lib/include or /usr/include somewhere. As root, run updatedb and
then "locate libpq-fe.h". This will probably find the file for you so
you can plug it into the ./configure command.
Good luck!!

Subject: GEAS database error
Hello All. . .
Everything has gone (relatively) smoothly up to this point. . .however
when I run autogen.sh in the geas/src directory I get an error saying
that 'no backend database can be found'.
I have tried running './configure --with-postgresql. . .' specifying the
path to postgresql data (in my case, /var/lib/pgsql/data) and the build
option = 'localhost'. When I run it through ./configure, I get what
might
be a more discreet message, telling me that libpq-fe.h cannot be
located.
There is no object with that name on my system, though I have seen
messages referring to it in the list archives. I have installed all of
the postgresql 7.1.3 packages I could get my hands on. I have
initialized
the database, created a user (hacker, w/no password), created a database
(empty) called 'gnue', and manually started the postmaster using the
'-i'
switch and even tried specifying the port. I can succesfully connect to
the 'gnue' database a few different ways at the console, using either
the
'postgres' logon or using the 'hacker' account I set up.
I am running Redhat 7.1, PostgreSQL 7.1.3, and Python 2.1.
I have a few 'libpq*' objects around, but no libpq-fe.h. Any assistance
is greatly appreciated.
Richard
