Perl with Postrges under Cygwin

["Jim.George" <jim dot george at blueyonder dot co dot uk>]

Hi folks,

  	I've been happily using Spamassassin for several months under
Cygwin.  So with this confidence in the package I thought I'd improve things by
linking in the database option.

  	That's where my problem starts.  I went to CPAN to find a DBI and
  DBD for Postgres (had to grab the ODBC DBD as there wasn't one for
  Postgres), trouble is that the install of the DBI pgsql relies on dynamic
  libraries so I was hoping there was a binary port of these modules or
  advice on installation?

	Sorry I forgot to mention the most important part and that is that
the files libpq.so and libpq-fe.h do not appear to be present under my Cygwin
installation .

	The next thing I tried was the perl DBI module Postgres-1.4, however
when compiling this I got the following errors.


gcc -c -I/usr/local/postgres95/include -DPERL_USE_SAFE_PUTENV -fno-strict-aliasing -I/usr/local/include -DUSEIMPORTLIB -O2   -DVERSION=\"1.4\" -DXS_VERSION=\"1.4\"  -I/usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/cygwin-multi/CORE  Postgres.c
Postgres.xs: In function `XS_PGconnPtr_getline':
Postgres.xs:148: `sv_undef' undeclared (first use in this function)
Postgres.xs:148: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
Postgres.xs:148: for each function it appears in.)
Postgres.xs: In function `XS_QUERYPtr_fetchrow':
Postgres.xs:339: `sv_undef' undeclared (first use in this function)
make: *** [Postgres.o] Error 1

	Can someone help me please to get Perl and Postgres working?

Thanks again,

Jim
