Install pgadmin in debian server

Clik here to view.

I have got pgAdminIII-1.14 source code from the official website.

Now I’m trying to compile it, on a Debian Squeeze machine.

At first I did:

./configure

and I got this error:

configure: error: you must specify a valid PostgreSQL 8.4+ installation with --with-pgsql=DIR

I don’t know which one is the directory it requires, I tried with:

/usr/lib/postgresql/9.1/bin

which is the directory in which I have “psql”, but it is not the good one.

How can I solve?

Probably you have to set --with-pgsql=/usr/lib/postgresql/9.1

How did you installed postgresql server? Using repository or from sources?

On the other hand this problem may occour while you are missing pg_config (which ,.configure is looking for)

Please execute which pg_config and if it’s missing – install additional pacakges
sudo apt-get install libpq-dev

If it doesn’t help you – try moving/copy/link /usr/bin/pg_config to /usr/lib/postgresql/9.1/bin/.

Then probably
configure: error: Could not find your wxWidgets installation. You might need to use the --with-wx=DIR configure option error will occure.

Fix it with
apt-get install libwxgtk2.8-dev libwxgtk2.8-dbg

Next one is configure: error: Could not find your libxml2 installation. You might need to use the --with-libxml2=DIR configure option

Fix – apt-get install libxml2-dev

Once again – configure: error: Could not find your libxslt installation. You might need to use the --with-libxslt=DIR configure option

Fix – apt-get install libxslt1-dev

After that make fails

Make parser folder and wget this file here – http://www.markmcfadden.net/files/kwlist.h

Then finally – make and make install went well.

TL, DR;

apt-get install libxslt1-dev libxml2-dev libwxgtk2.8-dev libwxgtk2.8-dbg libpq-dev 
cp /usr/bin/pg_config /usr/lib/postgresql/9.1/bin/. 
./configure 
mkdir parser
cd parser 
wget http://www.markmcfadden.net/files/kwlist.h 
make 
make install
