Thanks, Phil. Still, the good mojo escapes me. Time to cut my losses.
I commented USE_SYSLOG back out, then twiddled elog.h, twiddled config.h after
./configure (configure builds a new config.h), tried a few variation on
pg_options, all while bringing down postmaster, running 'make clean', 'make',
'make install', and restarting on each try. I rebuilt with printf's in the
trace.c functions near the code segments using ELOG_TIMESTAMPS, but am not
even seeing that output...I can see the new libpq.so...*that* concerns me.
LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set correctly.
Latest incantation of pg_options is:
verbose=2
query
Also tried...
all
verbose=2
query
Cheers,
Ed Loehr
