Hi,

First, here's some stats about my environment:

Configuring DBD::Pg 2.15.1
PostgreSQL version: 70310 (default port: 5432)
OS: darwin

[download]

I'm using MCPAN to install.

During the installation process I am asked the following question: "Path to pg_config?"

Using "locate pc_config" I find it at "/System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/rmdb.bundle/bin/pg_config"

I enter that as the answer. The process continues and I get the following:

POSTGRES_HOME: (not set)
POSTGRES_INCLUDE: /BinaryCache/RemoteDesktopDB/RemoteDesktopDB-105.roo
+t~225//System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/rmdb.bundle/inclu
+de
POSTGRES_LIB: /BinaryCache/RemoteDesktopDB/RemoteDesktopDB-105.root~22
+5//System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/rmdb.bundle/lib
OS: darwin
The value of POSTGRES_INCLUDE points to a non-existent directory: /Bin
+aryCache/RemoteDesktopDB/RemoteDesktopDB-105.root~225//System/Library
+/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/rmdb.bundle/include
Cannot build unless the directories exist, exiting.

According to http://kobesearch.cpan.org/htdocs/DBD-Pg/README.html, "BD::Pg needs to know where to find the libpq libraries: this is usually done by checking the output of the pg_config executable."

I check pc_config, and see the following:

# stored configuration values
val_bindir='/BinaryCache/RemoteDesktopDB/RemoteDesktopDB-105.root~225/
+/System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/rmdb.bundle/bin'
val_includedir='/BinaryCache/RemoteDesktopDB/RemoteDesktopDB-105.root~
+225//System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/rmdb.bundle/include
+'
val_includedir_server='/BinaryCache/RemoteDesktopDB/RemoteDesktopDB-10
+5.root~225//System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/rmdb.bundle/
+include/postgresql/server'
val_libdir='/BinaryCache/RemoteDesktopDB/RemoteDesktopDB-105.root~225/
+/System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/rmdb.bundle/lib'
val_pkglibdir='/BinaryCache/RemoteDesktopDB/RemoteDesktopDB-105.root~2
+25//System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/rmdb.bundle/lib/post
+gresql'

One question I have is the first part of the path (up to root~225/). I don't have a directory /Binary/... in my system. Is it okay to update this file (pg_config) and remove the first part of the path)? The path beginning with /System/... does exist.

Thanks,

- Bruce
