Currently PL/php builds using PGXS so you don't need to build it with the rest of PostgreSQL. This means no circular dependency involved. AFAICS PL/Perl could do the same just as well, probably PL/Python and PL/Tcl could too. (I'm using PHP 4.4.1 to develop. AFAIK it works just as well with PHP 5, but I haven't tried yet.) The only sore point of the PL/php build is that it needs the Apache2 module, so it needs to know the path to it. I haven't found a way to do this automatically without requiring APXS which I certainly don't want to do ... -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ The PostgreSQL Company - Command Prompt, Inc. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
