Package install failure on Centos 6.6

[krlmlr]

Does the suggestion in #21 help?

No sir it does not. I am running postgres 9.4 so I assumed that I needed to change it to

export LIBPQ_DIR=/usr/pgsql-9.4/
export LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/pgsql-9.4/lib

So, after running this I tried again and received the same error as described above. I wonder why their are issues with the declarations.

I tested in a clean instance of CentOS 7, and it seems that installation from GitHub worked after I said

rpm -Uvh http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/e/epel-release-7-5.noarch.rpm
yum update
yum install -y postgresql-devel

I wonder if things are different in CentOS 6.6.

Something must be different because that didn't work either. I will try and get a clean VM and retry on it.

Alright so my company's admin guy figured this one out. Here is his fix for those interested

remove the original 8.4 packages that were still installed
run ldconfig to update the linker config
install openldap and openldap-devel
both versions were installed
so the default was taking priority on pkg-config on the build path
and 8.4 didn't had the constants that the headers were looking for

export LIBPQ_DIR=/usr/pgsql-9.4/
export LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/pgsql-9.4/lib
