Hi,

One of our clients suggested that the installation document[1] lacks description
about requriements of installing *-devel packages. For example, postgresqlxx-devel
is required for using --with-pgsql, and openssl-devel for --with-openssl, and so on,
but these are not documented.

[1] http://www.pgpool.net/docs/pgpool-II-3.7.4/en/html/install-pgpool.html

I know the document of PostgreSQL[2] also lacks the description about openssl-devel,
kerberos-devel, etc. (except to readline-devl). However, it would be convenient
for users who want to install Pgpool-II from source code if the required packages
for installation are described in the document explicitly.

[2] https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/install-requirements.html

Is it not worth to consider this?

BTW, the Pgpool-II doc[2] says:

--with-memcached=path
Pgpool-II binaries will use memcached for in memory query cache. You have to install libmemcached.

, but maybe libmemcached-devel is correct instead of libmemcached?

Regards,
