Hello,
thanks for help, -m32 option to Makefile and make was successful, so was
also make test & make install.
Our own tests are connecting to postgres - at least so far.
Tom,we are using 32-bit perl & 32-bit postgres on 64-bit RHEL4, because
some of our sw still are 32-bit.
DBD::Pg is the latest version 2.10.7 from CPAN.
Again, thanks for great help !
Have a nice day
BR, Tapio

Yes, the problem must be that the compiler produces 64-bit code
which cannot be linked with 32-bit code.
You can either install 64-bit PostgreSQL libraries or give
gcc the -m32 option so that it generates 32-bit code.
Yours,
Laurenz Albe
