Description Bastien Nocera 2008-01-28 11:18:20 UTC

postgresql-devel-8.2.5-1.fc8

The CVS HEAD version of gnokii doesn't build because libpq.so is built as a
loadable module, and not a shared-library.

*** Warning: Linking the shared library libsmsd_pq.la against the loadable module
*** libpq.so is not portable!
gcc -shared  .libs/pq.o .libs/utils.o  -Wl,--rpath
-Wl,/home/hadess/Projects/Cvs/gnokii/smsd/.libs -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/usr/lib64//smsd
-L/usr/lib64 /home/hadess/Projects/Cvs/gnokii/smsd/.libs/libpq.so  -m64
-mtune=generic -pthread -Wl,-soname -Wl,libsmsd_pq.so -o .libs/libsmsd_pq.so

Comment 1 Tom Lane 2008-01-28 16:53:47 UTC

Judging from the given command, gnokii has (mis) built its own copy of libpq.so instead of using the 
system one.  Surely you should be filing this bug against gnokii instead of postgresql?

Another thing that looks pretty bogus there is the rpath that's being embedded into the library ...

Comment 2 Bastien Nocera 2008-01-28 18:08:15 UTC

I already corrected this, but the autofools didn't take it into consideration
(as can be seen from the target: libsmsd_pq.la). So already fixed in CVS. Thanks.
