Hi,

Has anyone successfully installed the PostgreSQL module (Pg.pm) for perl on OSX 
Server? I'm ALL out of ideas, and I'm going to have to toss this server if I can't get 
it working...

installing DBI using: 

sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'install DBI'

was smooth as silk. But then I tried to install the Pg module using:

sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'install Pg'

and it cranked away fine until the end where it said:

---------------------------------
Configuring Pg
Remember to actually read the README file !
please set environment variables POSTGRES_INCLUDE and POSTGRES_LIB !
Running make test
��Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won't test
Running make install
��Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won't install
---------------------------------

I see that OSX Server already has other DBD modules like DBD::Proxy installed. If I do 
a:

sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'install Proxy'

then it cranks along fine and tells me that Proxy is 'up to date.'

But why won't DBD:Pg install?

I have set the environment variables correctly, so that's not the problem. And I read 
the README file, but it doesn't help me.  I also tried to install using "force install 
DBD::Pg" but got exactly the same error messages.  

PostgreSQL 7.1.3 is successfully installed and running on OSX Server 10.0.4.  

Thanks in advance for any ideas...cause I'm afraid I'm all out.
