I believe it needs the PostgreSQL header files. Which would still be a
problem because the ./setup in PHP is going to add a /include to the end of
whatever path you give it. I gave up on building PHP from the PostgreSQL
RPM long ago so I'm not certain. I know that it has to have the libs in the
LIBPATH for the build. I'd either go complete with RPM installs or
completely from tar's myself. I use the tar method so that I know exactly
where everything is.
