I built the v8.0.3 product from postgresql-8.0.3-1PGDG.src.rpm on RedHat9 (I'm thinking the source RPM for RH9 should not have exactly the same name as the FC3 version, since they are different files). When I tried to roll it into an RPM CD builder transaction, I got 'RPM dependency errors': "CRITICAL ERROR: Unable to resolve dependency libecpg.so.3 for postgresql-libs" and "CRITICAL ERROR: Unable to resolve dependency libpq.so.3 for postgresql-libs". I was only including the base rpm, -server, and -lib in the RPM transaction set.
The culprit was a nasty bit at $TOP/src/Makefile.shlib:243. This piece insures that for the link step of libecpg.so.5.0 and libecpg_compat.so.2.0, /usr/lib is searched for libpq and libecpg.so _before_ the locally built copy is searched. At least for libecpg.so.5.0 and libecpg_compat.so.2.0, the attached patch fixes the problem. Not sure if there would be other instances in -contrib, etc. Hope this helps and that I'm not redundant with your other fans. Regards, Mark
