FreeBSD 2.0.3 port closefrom library?

[Chris]

Thanks.  I've been having a pretty tough time getting 2.0.3 freebsd  
port installed with pgsql.  I figured out that the closefrom issue was  
due to building against heimdal, so I disabled that since it's not  
immediately necessary.  Now I get this during configure:

===>   freeradius-2.0.3 depends on shared library: pq.5 - found
...
configure: WARNING: silently not building rlm_sql_postgresql.
configure: WARNING: FAILURE: rlm_sql_postgresql requires:  libpq.

After that everything builds fine, but, of course, no postgresql.

This is using the ports installed postgresql-server 8.3.1.   
Everything's in /usr/local/lib.

I'm not sure if it's complaining about a library or include file not  
being found.  I've tried adding
--with-rlm-sql-postgresql-lib-dir=/usr/local/lib and --with-rlm-sql- 
postgresql-include-dir=/usr/local/include/postgresql to the port  
Makefile but I can't get it to do anything but the above....
