While this analysis is correct, the behavior is still annoying when you are doing development and testing, for example if you only have one version installed and want to build something outside of the package system. Most build systems will be set up to simply call pg_config, but that would then never work on Debian without additional setup. It would be very helpful if /usr/bin/pg_config would return sensible values for *some* server version, most ideally the one it came from itself. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
