Further investigation (not yet complete) suggests that this is a link order dependency problem. It kicks in because libpq is being linked explicitly with -lc_r (which should not be necessary or desirable), causing libc and libc_r to be linked in the wrong order if the executable is _not_ linked with -pthread. -- Andrew, Supernews http://www.supernews.com - individual and corporate NNTP services ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
