I'm trying to install grass from unstable, and I've run out of ideas.

The install attempts end with:

"checking for postgres.h... yes
checking for location of PostgreSQL library... /sw/lib
checking for PQsetdbLogin in -lpq... no
checking for PQsetdbLogin in -lpq... no
configure: error: *** Unable to locate PostgreSQL library.
###  failed, exit code 1
Failed: compiling grass-5.0.0pre3-1 failed"

I noted at the end of the postgresql 7.1.3-4 install that there were 
instructions on how to start the postgresql database server, so I did 
that after the first failed install grass attempt.  Install grass 
failed in exactly the same way again.

I then rebuilt postgresql, but install grass still failed in exactly 
the same way.

I read through "man postgres" looking for hints on this missing 
library - no clues there.  I took a look in /sw/lib, looking for the 
missing postgresql library, but I can't see anything that looks like 
it.

I rooted around the grass website looking for hints, but didn't learn 
anything.  I did note they have a OS X install script, but that won't 
put it in fink's /sw tree, so I want to avoid that.

fink -V shows me"
"Package manager version: 0.9.9a
Distribution version: 0.3.2a.cvs"

I did a fink selfupdate this morning, and a fink update-all (I didn't 
let it run the updates yet though as the packages that it wants to 
update aren't relevant to this problem).

I'm running OS X 10.1.3, with the Dec. 2001 Developer Tools, plus the 
Dec. update.

So, can anyone give me any hints how to get grass working?

Thanks,

Kevin Horton
