Re: [HACKERS] shared lib names

> Why are our shared libs called e.g. ecpg.so and not libecpg.so ?

Uh, they aren't on at least some platforms. Here is the lib directory
on my linux box:

global1.bki.source libpq++.so.3.0
global1.description libpq.a
libecpg.a libpq.so
libecpg.so libpq.so.2
libecpg.so.3 libpq.so.2.0
libecpg.so.3.0.0 libpsqlodbc.a
libpgtcl.a libpsqlodbc.so
libpgtcl.so libpsqlodbc.so.0
libpgtcl.so.2 libpsqlodbc.so.0.25
libpgtcl.so.2.0 local1_template1.bki.source
libpq++.a local1_template1.description
libpq++.so pg_geqo.sample
libpq++.so.2 pg_hba.conf.sample
libpq++.so.2.0 plpgsql.so
libpq++.so.3 pltcl.so
