Re: [INTERFACES] Re: [HACKERS] pgAccess fails to launch on HPUX
If I had known that this was possible I would have done it myself already. ;-) This is a good idea in general because in a default installation pgaccess won't find libpgtcl on any system because it doesn't have the benefit of the -rpath/-R business. Please review/remove the note at the Really? On my RedHat 6.2 derived Linux distribution pgaccess successfully finds libpgtcl.so without any problem. (using Tcl8.0) Then you probably have LD_LIBRARY_PATH set, or you have the linker configured to look into the directory by default. I thought the point in these discussions is libpgtl.so could not be loaded even if LD_LIBRARY_PATH or whatever is set. -- Tatsuo Ishii

No, the point is that we are trying to avoid the requirement that LD_LIBRARY_PATH has to be set before the system can be used. This works okay with C linkage programs because of the "rpath" feature, but pgaccess does not have the benefit of that so we needed another way for it to find libpgtcl. -- Peter Eisentraut [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://yi.org/peter-e/
