libld.a does not provide dlopen(), libdl.a does. libld.a provides functions like ldopen() needed by src/backend/port/dynloader/aix.c for the dl*() substitutes built on AIX versions that lack dlopen and libdl.a, which appears to be versions prior to 4.3. -- Seneca Cunningham [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
