[ADMIN] Installation-trouble

[Christoph Lange]

Dear Postgresql-experts,   this is a desperate cry for help to all of you! I am quite a rookie concerning Unix and databases. Despite this fact I have tried to install Postgresql 7.0.3 into my homedirectory (/home/lange) on a Unix platform for a test run. Following the installation guide like a lemming everything had worked quite fine until I tried to create my first table producing this: uranus% /home/lange/pgsql/local/bin/createdb testdb     ld.so.1: /home/lange/pgsql/local/bin/psql: fatal: libpq.so: open failed: No such file or directory     Killed     createdb: database creation failed Unfortunately I don't know how to solve this problem, though - I guess - it must be something obvious. It would be very, very kind if somebody gave some advice to me.   Thank you for helping out a clueless rookie. Christoph Lange   PS: Those are all commands (and some results) I have used until now. uranus% cd /home/lange/pgsql uranus% gunzip postgresql-7.0.3.tar.gz uranus% tar -xf postgresql-7.0.3.tar uranus% cd postgresql-7.0.3/src uranus% mkdir /home/lange/pgsql/local uranus% ./configure --prefix=/home/lange/pgsql/local             Only thing that looked suspicious among all messages:     configure: warning: TCL/TK support disabled; tcl shell is not in your path uranus% gmake     All of PostgreSQL is successfully made. Ready to install uranus% cd /home/lange/pgsql/postgresql-7.0.3/src/test/regress uranus% gmake clean uranus% gmake all uranus% gmake runcheck             All tests were ok uranus% cd /home/lange/pgsql/postgresql-7.0.3/src/ uranus% gmake install     Thank you for choosing PostgreSQL, the most advanced open source database     engine. uranus% mkdir /home/lange/pgsql/local/data uranus% chown lange /home/lange/pgsql/local/data uranus% su - lange     Password:     Sun Microsystems Inc.   SunOS 5.6       Generic August 1997 uranus% /home/lange/pgsql/local/bin/initdb -D /home/lange/pgsql/local/data     Success.
