It is called libpgtcl and +the source is located in the PostgreSQL directory /src/interfaces/libpgtcl. +Specifically, you will need a libpgtcl library that is 'load'-able from +Tcl/Tk. This is technically different from +an ordinary PostgreSQL loadable object file, because libpgtcl is a collection +of object files. Under Linux, this is called libpgtcl.so. +<p> One of the solutions is to remove from the +source the line containing <b>load libpgtcl.so </b>and to load pgaccess.tcl +not with wish, but with pgwish (or wishpg) that wish that was linked with +libpgtcl library! I do not recommend this one. +<p> If you have installed RedHat 5.x, you should +get the last distribution kit of PostgreSQL and compile it from scratch. +RedHat 5.x is using some new versions of libraries and you have to compile +and install again at least <b>libpq </b>and <b><tt>libpgtcl </tt></b>libraries. +<p> PostgreSQL 6.4 release has a minor bug. I does not +include by default the crypt lib when compiling libpgtcl. So, you will +need to manually add a -lcrypt to SHLIB line in Makefile in src/interfaces/libpgtcl +and then make clean and make again. The new libpgtcl.so library is properly +configured to run pgaccess. +<br> +</body> +</html> |
