Fellow Mongers in Beantown;
As the Hartford PM is on hiatus I thought I would send this off to your
list for a possible response.
I have a rather newly installed Novell SuSE SLES 9 system and I am in
the process of migrating my web stuff from RH 8 to this new system.
Things are going reasonably well... except:
At the same time I am attempting to convert from MySQL to PostgreSQL as
the database. Actually PostgreSQL gets installed automatically with
this distro. However, in order to work with this db I require the
module DBD::Pg to be installed. No problem I thought... visit CPAN and
install it.
However, when attempting to install I am asked for the path to pg_conf
and I cannot locate this or actually any similar configuration file on
this system. I have, in fact, been able to create and build a test db
using the /usr/bin/postmaster command line facility.
So, my question for those of you who have done this before: what
should I be looking for? And if the correct response to this path
request is entered, will the install go as expected?
Please provide some guidance or possible the path that I should be
looking for? Again, I cannot locate the pg_conf file anywhere using find.
Thanks in advance,
BobM_CT

I have a SuSE Pro 9.0 system, and although I'm not running Pg on it, I
note that YaST2 shows a postgresql-devel package. Based on similar
experiences, I'd be willing to bet that if you install this, DBD::Pg
will find what it needs.
