Re: Problem with pl/perl in postgresql - Mailing list pgsql-novice

I just had a similar problem, but your solution (as posted anyway) didn't
work for me.

My system is RHEL3 and the libperl.so file is in the path as you specified.
Postgres is 7.4.6 from the source tar file.

In the end, I did (as root)

 # cp /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0//i386-linux-thread-multi/CORE/libperl.so /usr/lib

 # ldconfig

and it was fine after that, I didn't need to rebuild postgres.

From reading the manual, I thought that using :

ldconfig /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi/CORE/libperl.so
 or maybe
ldconfig -l /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi/CORE/libperl.so

should have worked, but calling ldconfig -p | grep perl showed that the lib
wasn't included.

>>>>>Hello,

    I think I got it installed. I did have have libperl.so but for some
reason it wasn't being picked up by ld.so.conf.

So I:
    ldconfig /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi/CORE/libperl.so

Then I rebuilt the postgresql srpm. And I was able to do:
    createlang plperl test

And it worked.

Thanks to everyone that replied.
