First I tried once more with > ./configure --with-pgsql=/usr --with-wx=/usr/local
but configure now stops with: checking for strchr... yes checking for PQexec in libpq.a... present checking for SSL_connect in libpq.a... present checking for krb5_free_principal in libpq.a... present checking libpq-fe.h usability... yes checking libpq-fe.h presence... yes checking for libpq-fe.h... yes checking PostgreSQL in /usr... ok checking for PQgetOutResult in libpq.a... not present checking wxWidgets version... ok checking wxWidgets in /usr/local... failed configure: error: Your wxWidgets installation cannot support pgAdmin in the sele cted configuration. This may be because it was configured without the --enable-u nicode option, or the combination of dynamic/static linking and debug/non-debug libraries selected did not match any installed wxWidgets libraries. error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.39796 (%build) > > If it still cannot find PostgreSQL (or wxWidgets), perhaps you need to > install some -dev packages to get the headers and libraries? I compiled the wxWidgets with the -enable-unicode option. Therefore I followed your advice and controlled if the devel packages are installed. The postgresql- and gtk2-devels are installed but as I compiled the wxWidget from the tarball I think the sources of this package are not (and I didn't install the devel from the distribution because I suppose that there would be some considerable differences). As I don't know how to install sources from a tarball I tried to create a source.rpm in order to install it but then configure complained: error: Failed build dependencies: gtk+-2.0-devel is needed by wx-gtk2-unicode-2.8.7-0.i586 although gtk2-devel is installed. Sorry, but I must confess that this is going beyond my installation-skills... > > Of course an easier option would be to use Redhat or CentOS :-p For pgadmin I suppose this is right, but recently I tried Fedora 8 and for other purposes I found some inconveniences so I decided to stick to OSS... I never tried seriously other distributions because of lack of time.
