Re: [INTERFACES] PgAccess 0.98 and libpq.so.2 - Mailing list pgsql-interfaces

You were right all a long...

I did a find (instead of locate) and it found some older libpgtcl.so
libs in the /usr/local/lib dir. I ran RPM on them to see what packaged
installed them but they didnt belong to anything. So I deleted them, ran
ldconfig and pgaccess worked!

Sorry for being so anoying and thanks alot for all ur elp,
