Comment 1 for bug 236749

I'm unable to come up with a workaround, as it no longer appears possible to build Slony 1.2.13 against PostgreSQL 8.2 on Hardy.

sudo apt-get install postgresql-server-dev-8.2
wget -S http://main.slony.info/downloads/1.2/source/slony1-1.2.13.tar.bz2
bunzip2 -c slony1-1.2.13.tar.bz2 | tar xf -
cd slony1-1.2.13
./configure --with-pgconfigdir=/usr/lib/postgresql/8.2/bin
make

produces:
