If you link to a library on your system that is not in your library path, you will get this problem.
The solutions is basically one of: - Create a symlink to the lib in a directory that is in the path (like /usr/local/lib) - Add the directory to your /etc/ld.so.conf - Add it to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable Rerun ldconfig in any case. Hope this helps. On Fri, Jun 27, 2003 at 05:07:53PM +0200, FTL Africa wrote: > Hello, > > I am a fairly new user of postgresql on linux. I have followed the instruction quite > well, I'm sure.
