pgsql 7.2.2: problem compiling on Sol 8 Solved

Folks,

Yesterday, I polled this list for help with a problem I had re compiling
pgsql for use with Apache and PHP. The problem's symptoms were that
Apache was failing to load because PHP could not find libgcc_s.so.1,
which, in turn, was because libpq.so.2 could not find libgcc_s.so.1.
This was because gcc on our systems is mounted in a non-standard
location (we tend to work in large clusters, with any add-on software
mounted on a central server, then automounted out to the individual
workstations.)

The sequence is: setenv, add gcc and libraries to path (setup) gmake
distclean (start from a clean sheet), configure, edit src/Makefile.port
to hand-carve-in the libraries, gmake, (as root) add gmake to path,
gmake install, test. In detail:

new window, clean sheet

cd /local1/dick1/apache/postgresql-7.2.2
setup gcc
setenv LDFLAGS "-L/nerc/packages/gcc/3.1.1/lib
-R/nerc/packages/gcc/3.1.1/lib"
gmake distclean
configure --quiet --with-libraries=/nerc/packages/gcc/3.1.1/lib
--with-includes=/nerc/packages/gcc/3.1.1/lib
vi src/Makefile.port

#ifeq ($(with_gnu_ld), yes)
#export_dynamic = -Wl,-E
#rpath = -Wl,-rpath,$(libdir)
#else
#rpath = -R$(libdir)
#endif
rpath = -L/usr/local/pgsql/lib -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/ssl/lib
-L/nerc/packages/gcc/3.1.1/lib -Wl -R/usr/local/pgsql/lib -Wl
-R/usr/local/lib -Wl -R/usr/local/ssl/lib -Wl
-R/nerc/packages/gcc/3.1.1/lib
shlib_symbolic = -Wl,-Bsymbolic

gmake

as root, new window, no baggage

# PATH=/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/nerc/packages/utilities/bin
# export PATH
# gmake

# ldd /usr/local/pgsql/lib/libpq.so.2
libresolv.so.2 => /usr/lib/libresolv.so.2
libnsl.so.1 => /usr/lib/libnsl.so.1
libsocket.so.1 => /usr/lib/libsocket.so.1
libgcc_s.so.1 =>
/nerc/packages/gcc/3.1.1/lib/libgcc_s.so.1
libdl.so.1 => /usr/lib/libdl.so.1
libc.so.1 => /usr/lib/libc.so.1
libmp.so.2 => /usr/lib/libmp.so.2
/usr/platform/SUNW,Sun-Blade-100/lib/libc_psr.so.1

Eureka, libpq now sees libgcc_s.so.1

Now to see if it works.

My thanks to Randall Perry, and his input from Peter Kurpis.
