postgres can't find libbsd.so.1.0.0 - where / how
Hello, postgres and postmaster both can't find libbsd.so.1.0.0, and I can't find this in Contents. I'm using debian 1.2 , postgres 1.01-1 (the cheapbytes distrib, files dated Jan 26 and 27) -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: postgres can't find libbsd.so.1.0.0 - where / how
OK, I went and searched each of the archives for the last 9 months, starting last Nov. and in the May (april? - near the end of the search, anyway - natch)archives I found the answer, I need to download 6.0 from the postgres site and compile. Is there a cleaner way? should I place the entire build in /usr/local so I can blow it away when the debian postgres becomes usable and I can manage upgrades easily?

libbsd.so.1.0.0
postgres95 needs libbsd.so.1.0.0 to run. This has already been reported as a bug. Where can one get a copy of libbsd.so.1.0.0? It doesn't seem to be a part of rex or bo according to their Contents files. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: need libbsd.so.1.0.0
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (joost witteveen) But if you've got the .a file, cannot you make the .so file by: mkdir t cd t ar -x ../libbsd.a gcc -o libbsd.so.1.0.0 -shared -W,l-soname,libbsd.so.1 *.o (I may well be _very_ wrong, and please flame me if I am, but I just _think_ it would work, and it's easy to find out). This does not work because the contents of the .a file are not position-independent code. This is why there is a libc-pic and ncurses3.0-pic packages - They contain .a files of position-independent code. I needed them to build special shared library versions for the base system.

Guy already answered the part about building a shared library. (I may well be _very_ wrong, and please flame me if I am, but I just _think_ it would work, and it's easy to find out). My point was that somebody built a package that uses a shared library that we don't even provide. IMO, finding out, what it is, where it came from and why it was used is more important than making a shared version of the libbsd.a provided by libc. David -- David EngelOptical Data Systems, Inc.

Hi Joost, you wrote: But if you've got the .a file, cannot you make the .so file by: mkdir t cd t ar -x ../libbsd.a gcc -o libbsd.so.1.0.0 -shared -W,l-soname,libbsd.so.1 *.o (I may well be _very_ wrong, and please flame me if I am, but I just _think_ it would work, and it's easy to find out). Ahm, you are wrong: To build shared libs the object files need to be compiled with -fpic which results in position independend code.
