which packages should provide those files ?

More to the point for CentOS purposes, what package from upstream, in its version 6 enterprise product built from publicly available SRPMs, presently provides such?

That some third party may expect such libraries to be present that form is an indication that they are not 'keeping up' as there has been a campaign to extrerminate .a and .la files on the Fedira front for several yaars now, and this is probably a collateral casualty to such actions. If such, the venue for such reports would https://bugzilla.redhat.com/ or the third party's tracker

I don't care about if it is going to be a static link or a shared link I saw I library that does exist in centos 5 and does not in centos 6

The correct topic to discuss here is "does this particular library exist in RHEL 6 and does not exist in CentOS 6?". Changes between major releases , as imposed by RHEL, are not really a topic for this list, as, as you must know, CentOS tries maintain 100% binary compatibility with RHEL's binary packages.

if this is it we need to change the link method to this library

can anybody validate that this is the correct library before we change the link option to this library, I am trying to compile gdal for elgis community, we just stuck to that

this is the package postgresql-devel-8.4.7-1.el6_0.1.x86_64

If RHEL decided to change the name of the library/libraries then probably you should follow their trend and change the configuration options of whatever software you try to build. As a sidenote, your initial message mentioned /usr/lib/libpgport.a not /lib/libpgport.a. And also, you either make confusions between static and dynamic libs or you forgot to explain something. As an observation, it is nicer for your users to use dynamic libs wherever possible.

i think they removed this library from postgres

https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/11346

I compiled it without this library and seems to be ok

Please be as kind as to point us to the link from ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/ where these packages are available. I cannot see them in any of the 6* directories.

my local mirror shows the former in F13, 14, 15, and rawhide, and the latter only in rawhide, but with different VR's

----- Original Message -----

Those appear to be EPEL packages.  Perhaps you've heard of EPEL?
