I took a first swing at this and rearranged some of these calls. A couple of other findings: nsl -- This might contain socket functions on some older platforms. ipc, IPC, lc -- unknown ld -- On AIX at least this seems to be some magic library but doesn't have an obvious testable symbol. compat -- could be anything, obviously bsd, BSD -- I seem to recall that these and possibly compat are used by Solaris to switch to BSD semantics on certain functions, but I don't think we rely on that (anymore). gen -- "generic" or "general", so this could be a lot, but it might contain syslog on some platforms at least. PW -- might be a compatibility library but none of the functions I found are used by PostgreSQL. resolv -- I don't think we need that. -- Peter Eisentraut http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
