This means that while installing that the xxid.so file did not get put into the right directory, $PGLIB. If your *postgres* prefix is /usr/local/pgsql then PGLIB is /usr/local/pgsql/lib. If you have to fish around, it is the same directory that plpgsql.so lives. Move or link the file there. Note that after this error you will also receive the same error for slony_funcs.so. Then later on Perl will not find slon-tools.pm. These also need to go into the PGLIB directory. The configuration options are confusing and depend on the type of installation of postgresql that you have. Especially when that installation is spread around /usr/bin, /usr/lib, etc. --elein [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > slony1 configure shows: > checking whether GetTopTransactionId is declared... no > > Postgresql was compiled with libg++, nls, pam, perl, pg-hier, > readline, ssl, xml, threads, and zlib support. > > Many thanks in advance for any insight, > > Peter > _______________________________________________ > Slony1-general mailing list > [email protected] > http://gborg.postgresql.org/mailman/listinfo/slony1-general > _______________________________________________ Slony1-general mailing list [email protected] http://gborg.postgresql.org/mailman/listinfo/slony1-general
