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!

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

yum install postgresql-devel

This worked for me (I also needed pg_config to install psycopg2) – Tom Dalling May 21 at 11:33
