[gdal-dev] build error on latest svn trunk

[Even Rouault]

Tom,

In fact, your install was probably OK at the beginning. I finally discovered 
that the PQescapeStringConn was an API added to the PostgreSQL client library 
in version 8.1.4 as a security release. This was backported to 8.0.8, 7.4.13 
and 7.3.15. So, that explains why I saw this call in all those older releases 
when downloading them and believed that it had existed for a long time...
Current GDAL trunk has now a configure test that looks for the presence of 
PQescapeStringConn and use it if available, or fallback to PQescapeString 
otherwise.
So, despite the annoyance, now you have a safer PostgreSQL release 
installed ;-)

Thanks for the testing and reporting !

Even
