On ubuntu from command line:
> createlang -h localhost -p 5433 plpythonu template1
createlang: language installation failed: ERROR: could not load library
"/opt/postgres/8.4/lib/postgresql/plpython.so": libpython2.3.so.1.0:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
And in sql:
CREATE PROCEDURAL LANGUAGE 'plpythonu' HANDLER plpython_call_handler;
ERROR: could not load library
"/opt/postgres/8.4/lib/postgresql/plpython.so": libpython2.3.so.1.0:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I won't have access to the windows machine until Monday, but the error
message was the same except 'so' was 'dll'
It looks like it wants Python 2.3 from the error message, I hope that is
not the case.
