[ELGIS] Trying to build mapserver package, stumbling on missing libpgport.a

[Peter Hopfgartner]

I've configured a new Virtual Machine for building EL6 packages.

Starting building the MapServer 5.6.7 package, I'm struck with this message:

The static lib, which in EL5 was /usr/lib64/libpgport.a, has been 
dropped from the PostgreSQL packages in

http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=a6a1e9bfab6192bbdaea41e88368ae7d242316d7

but I do not see any dynamically linkable libpgport.so.

How could I proceed?
