Re: [lazarus] Trouble with postgres
please search the libpq.dll on the web and download it, or you can copy the *.dll in your server such in C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.1\bin\libpq.dll and other depend *.dll in same directory. Put the *.dll in C:\Windows\System32\ directory in client computer. may be can help you.

Or better extend your windows path to include C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.1\bin\ copying dlls is usually a bad thing. You will loose track of versions. Also upgrading will be a pain when you forget to overwrite an older one.

RE: [lazarus] Trouble with postgres
When I last worked with Postgres 8.2, I had to rename libpq.dll to pq.dll in order for it to work with FPC. The FPC postgres3 unit looks for pq, but on Windows this does not expand to libpq like on Linux and OS X. Postgres3 unit probably needs an $IFDEF for Windows. I copied libpq.dll to the client app folder, along with these .dll's: comerr32.dll libintl-2.dll libiconv-2.dll krb5_32.dll libeay32.dll ssleay32.dll See the OutKafe installer file (.iss) for how the DLL's are installed with OutKafe.

It seems I am the only one experiencing this problem which means I probably have something nasty (or just unknown to me) lurking on my disk drive. These files redefined rename in some way or another. Aah well, I needed to do a reinstall of my whole system anyway. I will reinstall everything (from OS up) and report back as soon as I'm up and running again.(backups of course will be the order of the day).
