New install will not run

Hi All,

I just finished compiling and installing v1.4.2 on a Red Hat EL v3 machine.  The
wxWidgets were a real bear but I thought I had gotten through.

Unfortunately at the end of the day when I tried to launch pgadmin I got an
error message.  I don't really understand where to go from here.  Any help would
be appreciated.

# pgadmin3
pgadmin3: error while loading shared libraries: libpq.so.4: cannot open shared
object file: No such file or directory

Kind Regards,
Keith

Add the directory that your copy of libpq.so.4 is in to /etc/ld.so.conf
(normally /usr/local/pgsql/lib - not sure if you've installed from RPM
though), then run ldconfig as root.

Dave,

Your suggestion worked.  As it turned out I was missing two directories.
# find . -iname libpq.so
./usr/local/pgsql/lib/libpq.so
./usr/local/pgsql-8.0.0/lib/libpq.so

So I added /usr/local/pgsql/lib/ to the end of /etc/ld.so.conf
# ldconfig

When I tried to run pgadmin again I was told  pgadmin3: error while loading shared libraries: libwx_gtk2u_xrc-2.6.so.0:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
 

Figuring that your suggestion would apply a second time
# find . -iname libwx_gtk2u_xrc-2.6.so
./raid02/export02/downloads/wxGTK/wxGTK-2.6.2/lib/libwx_gtk2u_xrc-2.6.so
./usr/local/lib/libwx_gtk2u_xrc-2.6.so

So I added /usr/local/lib/ to the end of /etc/ld.so.conf
# ldconfig

The next time I tried to run pgadmin it worked!!

Woohoo! I have successfuly compiled and installed wxWidgets and pgadmin3 on a
Red Hat Enterprise Linux v3 system! :-)

That's LUNCH people! :-)

Thanks for your help.

Kind Regards,
Keith
