You cannot use a remote server when compiling. That option is used to specify where to find libpq and the headers I mentioned earlier are, if they cannot be found in a number of "usual" places. For example, if you build and install PostgreSQL with something like: "./configure --prefix=/opt/postgres-9.1", then you would need to tell pgAdmin the same path, eg. "./configure --with-pgsql=/opt/postgres-9.1". Another cause of this issue is that you have PostgreSQL installed in one of the default locations, but the headers for libpq are not installed. Make sure you have the -devel or -dev packages installed as well in that case (on Debian, I believe you need the libpq-dev package). -- Dave Page Blog: http://pgsnake.blogspot.com Twitter: @pgsnake EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgadmin-support mailing list (pgadmin-support@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgadmin-support
