I ha a perfectly functioning libpq before I upgraded my computer but for
some reason I am now getting undefined symbol errors in libpq.a:

AirBase:0: /Users/aksuska/Projects/FFSEmploy/AirBase

This sounds more like a generic linking problem specific to your system
than a problem with postgres as such.  Your best bet may be to ask on
platform-specific forums.

That said, can't you build postgres from source and use the libpq you get?

Originally I was using a MacPorts install, but I compiled from source and
used that lipq.a, but without any difference in result.


To find out if the symbol is in the library use the following command "nm -A libpq.a | grep close".  Of course you will need to the in the same dir as libpq or use an absolute reference.  I get the following:

Macintosh:lib$ nm -A libpq.a | grep close
libpq.a:fe-auth.o:          U _krb5_cc_close
libpq.a:fe-connect.o:          U _close
libpq.a:fe-connect.o: 000004dc t _closePGconn
libpq.a:fe-connect.o:          U _fclose
libpq.a:fe-connect.o:          U _pqsecure_close
libpq.a:fe-misc.o:          U _close
libpq.a:fe-misc.o:          U _pqsecure_close
libpq.a:fe-print.o:          U _pclose
libpq.a:fe-lobj.o:          U _close
libpq.a:fe-lobj.o: 000009fa T _lo_close
libpq.a:fe-protocol3.o:          U _close
libpq.a:fe-protocol3.o:          U _pqsecure_close
libpq.a:fe-secure.o: 000000a1 t _close_SSL
libpq.a:fe-secure.o:          U _fclose
libpq.a:fe-secure.o: 000000f6 T _pqsecure_close

Now here you will see there is no "_close" related to "fe-secure.o".  Should you be using "_close_SSL" or "_fclose"?  For my projects using xCode I link against libpq.dylib.  Not sure if this makes any difference.
