After some more examination of their readme.html, I tried this: $ ./runConfigureICU MacOSX --prefix=/usr/local/icu-57.1 --enable-rpath and that gave me sane-looking libraries: $ otool -L /usr/local/icu-57.1/lib/libicui18n.57.1.dylib /usr/local/icu-57.1/lib/libicui18n.57.1.dylib: /usr/local/icu-57.1/lib/libicui18n.57.dylib (compatibility version 57.0.0, current version 57.1.0) /usr/local/icu-57.1/lib/libicuuc.57.dylib (compatibility version 57.0.0, current version 57.1.0) /usr/local/icu-57.1/lib/libicudata.57.dylib (compatibility version 57.0.0, current version 57.1.0) /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1238.60.2) /usr/lib/libc++.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 307.5.0) --- note that now libicudata is shown as a dependency. And then configuring Postgres as I showed before leads to executables that build, and initdb, and pass regression tests, and have a bunch of ICU entries in pg_collation, without needing to fool with DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH. Their configure --help claims --enable-rpath use rpath when linking default is only if necessary but apparently that's for small values of "necessary" :-( regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
