Of course, with the server and client on the same machine, the server and the client dynamic libs are very likely to follow the same 'non-standard' as the libpq.so is likely to be from the same build or package as the server is. > However, the pitfalls should be obvious: independently built > clients, statically linked libraries, differing .so version numbers > to name three risk areas. These are real risks, of course. I have personal experience with the statically linked client and differing so version number cases. And, yes, to echo your previous sentiment, if it breaks, the distributor/packager is not the one that gets the compliants -- the PostgreSQL community does. So, for future discussion, a compromise will have to be arranged -- but this really isn't a 7.1 issue, as this isn't a 'bugfix' per se -- you have fixed the immediate problem. But this is something to consider for 7.2 or later, as priorities are shuffled. -- Lamar Owen WGCR Internet Radio 1 Peter 4:11
