It isn't. Quick intro: - Client-side PostgreSQL applications (which use libpq-dev) should usr /usr/bin/pg_config. This is the case for the vast majority of packages which deal with PostgreSQL. - Server-side packages like plr need to use the major version specific pg_config in /usr/lib/postgresql/<version>/bin/pg_config. This schema makes it possible to build server-side extensions for multiple major versions (like 8.2 and 8.3 at the moment), while not being major version specific in libpq-dev. Thus you should do > -PGXS := $(shell pg_config --pgxs) > +PGXS := $(shell /usr/lib/postgresql/8.2/bin/pg_config --pgxs) Martin -- Martin Pitt http://www.piware.de Ubuntu Developer http://www.ubuntu.com Debian Developer http://www.debian.org
