PostgreSQL 8.0.0beta3 (CVS HEAD)
Python 2.3.4
Solaris 9
Executing a plpythonu function that used to work now causes the
following error (wrapped):
ERROR: could not load library "/usr/local/pgsql/lib/plpython.so":
ld.so.1: /usr/local/pgsql/bin/postgres: fatal: relocation error:
file /usr/local/pgsql/lib/plpython.so:
symbol PyCObject_Type: referenced symbol not found
I don't use plpython much so I'm not sure when this broke, but I
see that the Python detection code has recently changed.
The problem appears to be that plpython.so isn't linked against
libpython2.3.so; I fixed the problem by editing src/Makefile.global
and changing python_libspec from this:
python_libspec = -lresolv -lsocket -lnsl -lrt -ldl -lpthread -lm
to this:
python_libspec = -lresolv -lsocket -lnsl -lrt -ldl -lpthread -lm -lpython2.3
Should Python's distutils be reporting something that it isn't?
The Python installation is about as stock as it could be: built
from source with "./configure --enable-shared", so there's no
vendor-introduced funny business going on.
