Hi,

I'm trying to run 'make check' on a 64bit Debian unstable. That aborts after 60 seconds due to not being able to connect to the postmaster.

I figured that there's nothing wrong with the postmaster, rather psql can't start up, because it gets linked against an older libpq.so.5. It looks like for some reason, it doesn't respect the LD_LIBRARY_PATH env variable, see ldd output:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/markus/projects/pgsql/sources/current/pgsql/src/test/regress# LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/markus/projects/pgsql/sources/current/pgsql/src/test/regress/./tmp_check/install//usr/lib ldd -r -v tmp_check/install/usr/bin/psql

[snip]
undefined symbol: pg_valid_server_encoding_id (tmp_check/install/usr/bin/psql) undefined symbol: PQconnectionNeedsPassword (tmp_check/install/usr/bin/psql)


Giving it an additional LD_PRELOAD for the newish libpq.5.1 helps:

Somebody have an idea on what's wrong here? Thanks.



Smells suspiciously like an rpath problem to me. What are your configure settings?

cheers
