Could it be possible to list the libraries needed to build the extension?

I am on Ubuntu and I need to apt-get install multiple time and guess the potential dev package that is needed to build this extension.

Would be very useful and save a lot of time.
Thanks

Hi @ant1j,

Have you tried postgresql-server-dev?

Sure, and also postgresql-server-dev-9.6 libssl-dev libkrb5-dev to achieve compilation without errors.

What I wanted to say is that maybe those libraries could be listed in the installation documentation.

Well... I get your idea, but IMHO it's not worth it. You see, pg_pathman is completely OS-agnostic. It works on all kinds of Linux, Windows, Solaris and god only knows what else, as long as PostgreSQL supports that particular platform.

It's easy to write a small how-to for Ubuntu, but:

  • How about Arch Linux? Fedora? etc...
  • The packages you've listed are not required if you, say, build PostgreSQL from scratch. Obviously pg_pathman has nothing to do with SSL or something like that, right? I'm surprised by the fact that you had to install those.

OK understood.
Actually, we I had an error, I googled it, and found a suggestion where such package should be installed ... and it worked.

Thanks for your answers and time
