??? I added -ldl, I didn't remove it. Note, it uses $(filter) which removes things not in the list. Maybe you're thinking of $(filter-out)? None of this affects contrib or plperl because they use completely different link lines. I've been thinking about -lnsl and -lresolv and it occurred to me that maybe on some platforms they are needed. However, on Linux they are 100% redundant. There -lnsl provides functions for NIS and YP and -lresolv provides functions for making your own DNS packets, neither of which PostgreSQL does. Unfortunatly the autoconf test doesn't look for a particular function it simply includes the lib if it is present. Does anyone remember what required functions are provided by these libs?
