Hi again Jan. I have finally got a Debian system up and running. It's 
debian 3.0. The 0.3.2 version of gtksql configured and built OK for me. 
The postgresql header is found in /usr/include/postgresql/server/postgres.h.

The CVS version had a couple of problems with the older version of gcc. 
I've fixed them so it now also builds OK. There are a couple of small 
problems (like it doesn't find the bitmap for the 'About' box). These 
should be fixed this week.

Is it possible that the postgresql-dev package has a problem on your 
system? The autoconf scripts do a test compile using the header, they 
don't just check that it's there. Have you been able to compile other 
postgresql related programs?

If you look in the config.log file after it fails it should show you 
what it tried to run, and what failed.

This fails some dependencies on my system, which is to be expected I guess.


Thanks again,

Darryl.
