A sane libpq-using package would give the user some kind of choice or check in sequence some combination of: - use pkg-config - use pg_config - rely on default paths A package that insists on using pg_config is not only broken for cross-compilation, but also for multi-arch. So those packages should be fixed. _______________________________________________ Pkg-postgresql-public mailing list Pkg-postgresql-public@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-postgresql-public
