I'm checking out IBM's nl_langinfo code to see what it does (what does it look at... LANG? NLSPATH?)

I have only one langinfo.h on my system but I may have a library in the fink system somewhere that I'm linking to instead of Apple's.

Still exploring...

I think we've crossed the line into gnucash-devel territory.
All I can think is that CODESET is getting multiply-defined,
or fink isn't pulling in the right langinfo.h, or...  I don't
know.  I've not got a Mac to play with, nor have I ever
built the existing sql backend.

Small curious update:

A seperate standalone program that calls nl_langinfo works.

#include <langinfo.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
     char *temp = nl_langinfo(CODESET);

     printf("CODESET = '%s'\n", temp);
     return 0;
}

returns:

CODESET = 'US-ASCII'

The above snippet was compiled outside of fink, etc.  Just gcc on a
normal user command line.

The null encoding is coming from a call to nl_langinfo(CODESET)
where CODESET appears to be #define to 0 but I"m not sure of that.

This is new to me.  I found nl_langinfo doing a google search but,
again, I thought if someone has tracked this down before, it would
save me time.

Thanks,
Perry
p.s. should we move this to gnucash-devel ?  I subscribed to it as
well.

Well, it looks like it's using an empty "encoding name", whatever
that is.  I've never compiled the pg backend, let alone used it,
so I have no clue.

This is a run time error. To recap, the README in the
backend/postgres directory says to start gnucash with your data file
and then to do a "Save As" with a path of postgres://localhost/tempdb
and that will create the database and populate it.


When I do this, I get the errors below.

I'm been digging around and I see there is a set-log-level where you
can get the code to record the entry and exit of routines. So far, I
haven't figured out how to call set-log-level. Is it hooked up to a
GUI thingy? I was just assuming it would be on the command line.


As far as CVS and getting the latest, I'm figuring that the
backend/postgres code hasn't changed much. If I actually figure out
and fix something I'll ask about what to do at that point.


Thanks
Perry

I dont know if we've ever tested with pg-7.4..

Is this a configure-time, build-time, or run-time error?
What other errors do you get?

PS: If you're building gnucash, you should use 1.8.9 (if not the
1-8-branch from CVS).

I'm going to start digging into this error but thought I would post
it. (Let me know if this might should be moved to the developers
list).


I got gnucash rebuilt with --enable-sql.  Now I get:

ERROR:   is not a valid encoding name

(plus other errors but I think that is the root cause of the
errors)
when I try to do the initial save as.

If someone out there can say "Oh... thats XYZ" let me know.
Otherwise, I plan to dig into the source and see what it is
attempting
to do.

FYI: I have gnucash 1.8.8 and postpresql 7.4.1

Thank you,
Perry
