Hi,
I trying to run a script, but I’m getting the following error (message):
Perhaps the DBD::Pg perl module hasn’t been fully installed,
or perhaps the capitalisation of ‘Pg’ isn’t right.
But when a try to install DBD::Pg (cpan), I get this:
Configuring DBD::Pg 3.3.0
Path to pg\_config?
The problem is, I do not have pg\_config on this machine.
Anyone here knows what should I do?
Thanks!

Hi
You need to install the postgresql development package from the SLE SDK
postgresql91-devel or postgresql-devel depending on which server you
installed.

Hi
Have you added the SLE SDK as an add on product via YaST, so it adds
the repositories to your system?
You only need the DVD1 iso image and you can also use just the iso image
via YaST
[https://download.suse.com/Download?buildid=hF8sRGTVC04~](https://download.suse.com/Download?buildid=hF8sRGTVC04~)
This is assuming your on SLE 11 SP3…

Hi
Hmmm, maybe it’s actually wanting pkg-config installed, is this
installed?

Hi
OK, so looking at the build requires for the rpm, there are only a
few…
[https://build.opensuse.org/package/view\_file/devel:languages:perl/perl-DBD-Pg/perl-DBD-Pg.spec?expand=1](https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/devel:languages:perl/perl-DBD-Pg/perl-DBD-Pg.spec?expand=1)
But the do add a couple of exports…
```auto
export POSTGRES_INCLUDE=/usr/include/pgsql
export POSTGRES_LIB="%{_libdir} -lssl"
```
Where \_libdir is for your arch.
Else download and install the rpm from devel:languages:perl?
