Re: PostgreSQL DBD setup
Had just yesterday the same problem. Did not get DBD::Pg working using it with Suse Linux 7.0 Postgres RPM Distribution. It might be easier to use Postgres source distribution instead of using a RPM distribution. After compiling Postgres as described in the INSTALL file i had to set the environment variables as follows: export POSTGRES_INCLUDE=/usr/local/pgsql/include export POSTGRES_LIB=/usr/local/pgsql/lib In the same terminal session you should run the installation process of DBD::Pg. Good Luck!
