Hi All,
I want my scripts to connect to a remote Postgres server and don't really
want to install Postgres on the webserver. Is there any way round this? When
I try to compile DBD::Pg it asks for my pg_config (which I have to just
leave blank) and it then just throws up loads of errors. I've tried
installing that latest Postgres Lib RPM without success.

You either need the Postgres runtime (client connectivity) libraries
on the machine - assuming such exist as a separate component in the
Postgres product set - or you need to install Postgres on your client
machine, or you need to use DBD::Proxy on the client and have a Proxy
daemon running on the machine with the Postgres database server.
Given the error you're getting, I suspect the 'separate component'
part isn't an option.

You need to install the postgresql-devel RPM. It contains pg_config.
You have no other choice if you want to use DBD::Pg.

OK, I'll try the Devel package. Thanks.
