bug

I've installed PostgreSQL 6.5 from a RedHat rpm and Perl 5.005.03 on an
Intel P90 box running RedHat Linux 6.0.  The install did not set a
$POSTGRES_HOME variable and installed in /usr/lib and /usr/include
rather than /usr/local/pgsql as in older versions. My attempts to
install the modules DBD-Pg-0.92 and pgsql_perl5-1.8.1 failed.

My patch is as follows:
    Setting Environment Variable:
        $POSTGRES_HOME = /usr/include/pgsql
    Edit the Makefile.PL script for pgsql_perl5-1.8.1:
        Set INC = $POSTGRES_HOME (rather than $POSTGRES_HOME/include)
