Re: ERROR: could not access file "$libdir/xxid": No such file or directory

Craig Ringer,

I tried scanning "slony1_funcs.dll" for dependencies but for some reasons it cannot find POSTGRES.EXE, the files is encrypted if I try to open it so I can't set the directory. I even tried copying POSTGRES.EXE in the lib folder where slony1_funcs.dll resides but of course still gets the same error.

Can this really a factor for the Slony to throw that error?

Dependency Walker (depends.exe) from www.dependencywalker.com (free).

Yet another tool the OS and the Windows standard dev tools fail to include.
