libpgtcl
 

Ok i have does this so far,
./configure --with-tcl --prefix=/usr/local/pgsql --exec-prefix=/usr/local/pgsql --exec-prefix=/usr/local/pgsql --with-postgres-lib=/usr/local/lib --with-tcl=/usr/local/lib/tclConfig.sh
got passed that then i have to run gmake but i get this error.

root@localhost libpgtcl]# gmake
rm -f libpgtcl1.6.so
gcc -pipe -shared -o libpgtcl1.6.so pgtcl.o pgtclCmds.o pgtclId.o -L/usr/local/lib -lpq -L/usr/local/lib -lpq -L/usr/local/lib -ltclstub8.4
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lpq
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
gmake: *** [libpgtcl1.6.so] Error 1
Would appreciate any help thanks .

Hi,

and welcome to LQ!


What are you trying to build here?



Cheers,
Tink

libpgtcl thanks for the welcome

Well i been trying to follow a guide to install gnuservices for my ircd
http://evilnet.sourceforge.net/index...e=0&subset=A-3
I get as far as libpgtcl i ./configure it then run gmake and i get the error as shown in my orginal post i tryied google with the error message cant seem to figure out what i'am doing wrong here .

I didn't read that write-up in its entirety, but did you verify
that a) postgres' libaries indeed ARE where it's looking for them
and b) that you ran ldconfig after adding /usr/local/pgsql/lib
to /etc/ld.so.conf ?



Cheers,
Tink

A)Ok i checked over my ./configure i had something wrong in there but now i get this configure: error: Cannot locate program pg_config to determine PostgreSQL paths. Make sure pg_config is in PATH or set PG_CONFIG env var to path to pg_config.
How do i make it locate the file my guess was --with-postgres-bin=/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_config but doesnt seem to work.
B)Ok i edited the file and ran ldconfig i get this.
ldconfig: Input file /usr/local/pgsql/lib/libecpg.so.5.2 not found.
ldconfig: Input file /usr/local/pgsql/lib/libpgtypes.so.2.1 not found.

ldconfig: Input file /usr/local/pgsql/lib/libpgtypes.so.2.2 not found.

Can you post the output of
?



Cheers,
Tink

i ran that command but theres a lot of output how would i go about pasting all that?

[edit]
Just run it against bin and lib

all there ... as what user did you run ldconfig?

ran it under root

Very odd ... what distro are you using?


Cheers,
Tink

fedora core 7

And at this stage in the game I'd like to move your post
to the Fedora forum because I have no explanation for this
behaviour ... would you mind? Sorry that I can't be of
further assistance.



Cheers,
Tink

Its ok thanks for your help anyways also i would like to point out that
while using [root@localhost libpgtcl]# ./configure --with-tcl --prefix=/usr/local/pgsql --exec-prefix=/usr/local/pgsql --with-postgres-lib=/usr/local/pgsql/lib --with-tcl=/usr/local/lib/tclConfig.sh
I'am still getting this error. configure: error: Cannot locate program pg_config to determine PostgreSQL paths. Make sure pg_config is in PATH or set PG_CONFIG env var to path to pg_config.

Moved: This thread is more suitable in <Fedora> and has been moved accordingly to help your thread/question get the exposure it deserves.

Did you try adding /usr/local/pgsql/bin to the PATH, or
setting PG_CONFIG?


Cheers,
Tink

I had tried using --with-postgres-bin=/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_config
that didnt work prolly do that wrong,and as setting PG_CONFIG i dont know how i went into the directory executed ./pg_config but it just give me stats.


[root@localhost bin]# ./pg_config
BINDIR = /usr/local/pgsql/bin
DOCDIR = /usr/local/pgsql/doc
INCLUDEDIR = /usr/local/pgsql/include

Try
on the shell before running your ./config

there that fixed everything thank you very much for your help

Not quite "fixed everything" ... you SHOULD be able to use
the postgres libraries with ldconfig. There's definitely
something seriously weird there.

yea your right its still doing that

I just came across this thread while trying to figure out how to get the native library part of JOGL (Java OpenGL) recognized by ldconfig. Using Fedora 7 here as well. The problem is with SELinux blocking ldconfig from accessing your .so files because they don't have the proper SELinux context type. Simply run the following command in the directory containing your .so files:

chcon -t lib_t *.so

Don't do this in a directory such as /usr/lib because some of the libraries in there have special context types, this could probably break those. Specify the full filename(s) of the libraries you need to change in that case.

thanks i will try this later on today see if it solves this

i just tried it i ran it under /usr/prostgres/lib it didnt seem to work maybe iam doing something wrong iam a bit of a noob when it comes to linux.

There may be further SELinux contexts to set on the files and directories you are using. You should be getting a little star notification icon for the SELinux Troubleshooter. You can click on it to get a listing of what SELinux has blocked and why. Thats how I discovered what was wrong in my situation. You can also start the SELinux Troubleshooter from the menu at System->Administration->SELinux Troubleshooter. Look through there for any security alerts relating to /sbin/ldconfig and/or the files and directories you are working with.

Also this command will show you the SELinux context info for a directory listing:
ls -Z
