No, I was not aware of that. Thank you for that information. Is it
installed by default?
Anyway, LibreOffice wishes to be compatible back to MacOS X 10.4
(probably to have some sort of MacOSX/PowerPC support), so that's not
yet useful to us, but it is good news! As I use PQconnectdbParams, I
also need version 9.0 or later (but I'd be willing to work around that
if it were useful).
