Hi All,
I'm building mapserver and it requires [B]libpgport.a[/B] that in other
distributions
is part of [B]libpq-dev[/B] but I cannot find it with YUM...
any ideas
thanks
For some (reasonable) reason, usually Fedora strongly discourages to ship
static archives in binary rpms:

You can see this also happened on postgresql:

You should really check if libpgport.a is really needed, i.e.
check it the package you are trying to build supports dynamic
linkage (against libpgport.so).
By the way, mapserver is in Fedora:
