Re: pg_config --configure ...

I usually just look at config.log, and copy and
paste...but I am guessing you are trying to automate
this. Looks like pg_config adds '' around each option
when specifying --configure (i.e. '--with-libraries'),
at least on my system (Linux, PG803). You can try to
get rid of the ''. This seems to work on my system:

./configure `pg_config --configure | tr "'" " "`

I'm not a shell guru by any means, so there might be a
better way...
