Sphinx search server: unknown type 'pgsql'

Question

I'm trying to install Sphinx search server with pgsql and I have this error: "unknown type 'pgsql'; skipping;"

You will probably ask me if I have added --with-pgsql="path/to/pgsql" with "./configure" but I try to install sphinx with ... a remote DB!

So I can't specify --with-pgsql with "./configure" because pgsql files are not on this server.

My sphinx.conf file contains access to the remote DB (IP, database, port etc.).

If someone could help me on this problem.

Answer 1

check: whereis pg_config

must output: pg_config: /usr/bin/pg_config /usr/share/man/man1/pg_config.1.gz

if output: pg_config: < nothing >

then install package postgresql-devel (for SUSE) or libpq-dev (for other ver.) or another analog package
