Hi,
I cannot find out from postgresql.org the tar.gz client library
installation from linux, does someone knows the procedure to install
*only* client libraries on a linux box? After that I should be able to
install the DBD::Pg driver in a smooth way.
Or, better, is someone so smart to point out the correct shared objects
to copy to the correct directory and the correct environment variable to
set? It would be nice to avoid make, make install and to simply copy the
needed .so from the server.

You'd have to install the "libs" and the package.

If you want to compile DBD::Pg yourself you will also need the "devel"
package.

If none of the binary packages works for you, install from source as
described here:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/curre...procedure.html

There is a heading "Client-only installation" on this page.

mmmhh... I have to install packages on a RHEL 4, on this page:
http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/binary...t/rhel-4-i386/
I find a lot of packages, and I'm a bit confused, should I install:
compat-postgresql-libs-3-2PGDG.rhel4.i686.rpm
or:
postgresql-libs-8.3.0-1PGDG.rhel4.i686.rpm
or something else? or is it safer to compile and install from sources?
