The ones I know of that allow such a thing generally hard-wire the location of the global config file at build time, rather than taking it from an environment variable. The env var approach seems weird, and a tad inefficient (since you'd have to put such an env var into the global .profile, meaning it propagates into every single process ever launched on your system). Also I think we have at least one global config file already for libpq, and its location is hard-wired. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: 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
