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/libpq.so.5.0 not found.

ldconfig: Input file /usr/local/pgsql/lib/libpgtypes.so.2.2 not found.
ldconfig: Input file /usr/local/pgsql/lib/libpq.so.4.1 not found.

Can you post the output of
?

Tink

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

ran it under root

Very odd ... what distro are you using?
