Let's review: What we install is libpq.so.5.8 (actual file) libpq.so.5 -> libpq.so.5.8 libpq.so -> libpq.so.5.8 The second one is the one used at run-time, looked up by SONAME. The third one is the one used at build time, because -lpq means look for libpq.so. If we instead installed libpq.so.5 (actual file) libpq.so -> libpq.so.5 nothing would effectively change. -- Peter Eisentraut http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
