PostgreSQL 8.0.0beta3 (CVS) Solaris 9 gcc 3.4.2 gmake 3.80 Attempting to install contrib/dblink fails due to libpq not being found:
% psql -Upostgres test < dblink.sql ERROR: could not load library "/usr/local/pgsql/lib/dblink.so": ld.so.1: /usr/local/pgsql/bin/postgres: fatal: libpq.so.3: open failed: No such file or directory This happens if libpq.so.3 isn't in a directory that the run-time linker is configured to search. The standard client applications work because they were linked with "-R/usr/local/pgsql/lib", which is this platform's way of adding library search directories to a dynamically-linked object (other systems may use a different set of options). I got dblink to work by editing contrib/dblink/Makefile and changing this line: SHLIB_LINK = $(libpq) to this: SHLIB_LINK = -R/usr/local/pgsql/lib $(libpq) I don't know what the correct platform-independent incantation should be -- I tried using $(rpath) but it didn't expand to anything. -- Michael Fuhr http://www.fuhr.org/~mfuhr/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
