Hi All,
I'm building mapserver and it requires [B]libpgport.a[/B] that in other distributions is part of [B]libpq-dev[/B] but I cannot find it with YUM...
any ideas
thanks
For some (reasonable) reason, usually Fedora strongly discourages to ship static archives in binary rpms: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Packaging_Static_Librari... You can see this also happened on postgresql: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=a6a1e9...
You should really check if libpgport.a is really needed, i.e. check it the package you are trying to build supports dynamic linkage (against libpgport.so).
By the way, mapserver is in Fedora: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/acls/name/mapserver http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=4354
