Re: problem getting postgres 8.3.1 with xml support to work on Redhat Enterprise Linux 4

Thanks a lot for the help. I changed the /etc/ld.so.conf to include the
libxml2 directories and did /sbin/ldconfig -v . Postgres initdb started
fine after that.

Thanks
Aswin

Linux isn't real friendly to putting shared libraries outside the
standard directories. If you want to keep libxml2.so in its own
directory
you'll need to teach the dynamic linker to look there. See ldconfig.
