Re: Postgres 7.1RC1 on Solaris 7

Hi Tom,

I did the test by hand and here is the output:

bash-2.03# echo "int main() { return 0; }" >conftest.c
bash-2.03# gcc -o conftest conftest.c -lz -lresolv -lgen -lnsl -lsocket -ldl
-lm
bash-2.03# ./conftest
ld.so.1: ./conftest: fatal: libz.so: open failed: No such file or directory
Killed
bash-2.03# ldd conftest
libz.so => (file not found)
libresolv.so.2 => /usr/lib/libresolv.so.2
libgen.so.1 => /usr/lib/libgen.so.1
libnsl.so.1 => /usr/lib/libnsl.so.1
libsocket.so.1 => /usr/lib/libsocket.so.1
libdl.so.1 => /usr/lib/libdl.so.1
libm.so.1 => /usr/lib/libm.so.1
libc.so.1 => /usr/lib/libc.so.1
libmp.so.2 => /usr/lib/libmp.so.2
/usr/platform/SUNW,Ultra-5_10/lib/libc_psr.so.1
bash-2.03#

So, how can I fix the problem, please?

Best Regards,

Ahmed
