I did the following:
        ./configure --with-pgsql=/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_config
and I get this.
SUMMARY
 -------------------------------------------------------

 HOST_OS: linux-gnu

   PGSQL: /usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_config
    GEOS: /usr/local/bin/geos-config (with C-API)
    PROJ: dir=/usr/local
   ICONV: 1

 PORTNAME: linux
   PREFIX: /usr/local
  EPREFIX: ${prefix}

      MAN: ${prefix}/man
      BIN: ${exec_prefix}/bin
      EXT: /usr/local/pgsql/lib (\$$libdir)
 -------------------------------------------------------
then I continue with make , but I get the same error. It's still not
working.
I did read every paper I could before ask and try a lot but I don't get
anywhere that it's why I post.
