In order to develop one web application based on postgresql, i need to install libpq on my centos.

I can install it by "apt-get install libpq-dev" on ubuntu, but i can not install it on centos by "yum install libpq".

Who can tell me how to install it, thanks!

centos yum postgresql

  1. I just had to install this on my CentOS 6 server since psycopg2 required pg_config. Boo yah:

    yum install postgresql-devel

    Update

    If you still encounter issues with pg_config, you may need to add it to your PATH, e.g.:

    export PATH=$PATH:/usr/pgsql-x.x/bin

    where x.x is your version, such as /usr/pgsql-9.2./bin.

    The package is called postgresql-libs on Red Hat and derived distributions.
