Thread: Installing plpgsql fails

Installing plpgsql fails

From

Hi

Solaris 8
PG V7.3.3

I'm trying to install the procedural language plpgsql using:

createlang plpgsql securnet

But this fails with:

ERROR:  stat failed on file '$libdir/plpgsql': No such file or directory
createlang: language installation failed

pg_config --libdir  - returns:

/opt/postgres/product/7.3.3/lib - and in this directory resides a file called plpgsql.so

The LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable also contains /opt/postgres/product/7.3.3/lib


I've installed this successfully on another Solaris box without a problem.

Has anyone got any thoughts?

Thanks

Regards

Nigel Bishop

Hi,

edit the script called "createlang" and adjust PGLIB='$libdir'.

I think the pg_config setting you need to look at is --pkglibdir.

Tom,

I tried what Andreas Schmitz suggested (setting PGLIB=/opt/postgres/product/7.3.3/lib in the createlang script), it
didn'treturn an error but there again it didn't return the CREATELANG message either.  Though if I then run the
"createlandlang db" again it says that the language is installed.  Selecting from pg_language does not show the plpgsql
language.

Running pg_config --pkglibdir returns - /opt/postgres/product/7.3.3/lib

When postgres was installed on this machine back in July the configure script was ran with:

./configure --prefix=/opt/postgres/product/7.3.3

Could this make a difference

I was trying to run the dbsize.sql script which fails (ERROR:  stat failed on file '$libdir/plpgsql': No such file or
 directory) because the language isn't installed hence why I'm trying to install the lanaguage.

Regards


Nigel Bishop
