Thread: Starting postgres on Solaris

Starting postgres on Solaris

From

Hi,

I am trying to start postgres from the command line on Solaris 8.  I rebooted my server and now all i get when i try to
startpostgres is an error.  I listed the error below. 

Is there a way to get postgres to read/reference the libraries correctly?  How do i fix this problem, without
rebuildingpostgres?   

$> su - postgres

bash-2.03$ cd /usr/local/pgsql/bin

bash-2.03$ ./postmaster
    ld.so.1: ./postmaster: fatal: relocation error: file /usr/local/ssl/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.6: symbol
__register_frame_info:referenced symbol not found 
    Killed

bash-2.03$


----
Any help would be appreciated.

Brent,

Sounds like you don't have the runtime linker (ld.so) configured
correctly or don't have your environment setup.

Solaris 8 & 9 has a command, crle, which is similar to the Linux
ldconfig command.  I typically add all lib paths to it so I don't have
to worry about setting environment variables for all the different
shells.  As a best practice I have a bootup script which runs this on
every boot in case libraries are added, removed or patched.

As root or in a startup script...

# crle -c /var/ld/ld.config -l \
   /usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/ssl/lib:/apps/pgsql/lib \
   -i /usr/lib -i /usr/local/lib -i /usr/local/ssl/lib -i /apps/pgsql/lib

See crle(1) man page for all the options.
