Hi Paolo

Also SUSE has them in /usr/include/pgsql/ which pmacct also does not pick up. 
This is no major problem as I put it in the spec file once and forgot about 
it, but maybe you should add it and /usr/include/postgresql/ to configure so 
that people building from source on these platforms don't need to try so 
hard. :-)

Cheers
