Is this telling me that the .so file could not be loaded ?

Subject: [INTERFACES] SEGFAULT ON EXTENDED FUNCTION

Hopefully someone can help with this;

I have an extension library which basically adds some common financial functions from gnumeric. This has worked just fine for a couple of years on a 32 bit machine running 8.1.0. and still does. I have recently built a new dual core 64 bit gentoo system with 8.1.0 installed.

The library in question compiles and links just fine. I install it in /usr/lib.

When I execute the create or replace function call that also succeeds however when I execute the command .. for example:

select * from eomonth('10/22/2006',0);

1. Is there anything special I should have done when building postgres ?
