Hi *, I don't know if this is really a bug but surely is something that is giving a lot of problems to psycopg (pyhton/postgresql adapter). psycopg 1.1.11+ checks for libpq version at runtime and, if available uses the new protocol api (mainly to extract non-localized error codes after errors). now, the problem is that a *lot* of users have two different libpq versions of their systems and usually psycopg gets compiled against 7.4 and runtime-linked against 7.3, resulting in an error (symbols not found).
the question is: there is any special reason to change the api of a library and *not* change the soname? having changed the soname of the library would have avoided this kind of problems. thank you in advance for your time, federico -- Federico Di Gregorio http://people.initd.org/fog Debian GNU/Linux Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] INIT.D Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] We are all dust, Saqi, so play the lute We are all wind, Saqi, so bring wine. -- Omar Khayam
