[ shrug... ] *Not* resolving symlinks when we can causes its own set of problems, which maybe we don't see very clearly because we have been doing it like that for a couple of decades. I remain pretty hesitant to change this behavior. What did you think of the compromise proposal to change only the paths that pg_config outputs? I've not tried to code that, but I think it should be feasible. regards, tom lane
