Building a development version of pgadmin

I'm trying to build a debug version under Arch Linux. I've added --enable-debug argument while executing a configyre script to build a debug package. Now this build requires a debug version of wxWidgts. I rebuilt wxWidgets with --enable-debug, but it creates a .so files with a letter "d" added to each file:

$ pacman -Ql wxgtk2.8 | grep so$

wxgtk2.8 /usr/lib/libwx_baseud-2.8.so

...

wxgtk2.8 /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2ud_stc-2.8.so

wxgtk2.8 /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2ud_svg-2.8.so

wxgtk2.8 /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2ud_xrc-2.8.so

Now building and running of pgadmin3 fails with this message:

wxrc-2.8: error while loading shared libraries: libwx_baseu_xml-2.8.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

What am I doing wrong now? I think, creating a symlinks is a wrong way, but I can't guess what should I do. Thank you,

With best regards, Andrey Zhidenkov.

It sounds like you're using the non-debug build of wxrc (from your first attempt) with the debug build of the libraries. You need to make sure you also build/install the debug version of wxrc from the utils/ directory of the wxWidgets source tree.

What I normally do is build both the debug and non-debug releases of all of wxWidgets (in that order) - you'll get both sets of libraries installed in parallel, and the non-debug versions of utilities like wxrc.
