Thread: Need your help (frustrating issue)
Hi ,
I'm facing an issue with Postgresql 7.3.4.
I've installed DBI version 1.37 & DBD::Pg (1.22) on a Solaris 8 machine w/ perl 5.6.1 .The basic
problem is I can connect to Postgres just fine from the command line, but it
craps out when I try from a CGI with the below error message:
install_driver(Pg) failed: Can't load '/apps/systran/perl/lib/sun4-solaris/auto/DBD/Pg/Pg.so' for module DBD::Pg: ld.so.1: /usr/local/bin/perl: fatal: libgcc_s.so.1: open failed: No such file or directory at /usr/local/perl5.6.1/lib/sun4-solaris/DynaLoader.pm line 206.
at (eval 1) line 3
problem is I can connect to Postgres just fine from the command line, but it
craps out when I try from a CGI with the below error message:
install_driver(Pg) failed: Can't load '/apps/systran/perl/lib/sun4-solaris/auto/DBD/Pg/Pg.so' for module DBD::Pg: ld.so.1: /usr/local/bin/perl: fatal: libgcc_s.so.1: open failed: No such file or directory at /usr/local/perl5.6.1/lib/sun4-solaris/DynaLoader.pm line 206.

I got an link in google that says :

Probably you have not told ldconfig where to look for libpq.so. The directory containing that shlib needs to be part of the system search path for shlibs (/etc/ld.so.conf I think). regards, tom lane
It's Solaris, so there's no ldconfig to work on the fly's of libraries .I did put the LD_LIBRARY_PATH correctly in the cgi itself , hoping that it would work out, but it didnt help me out.
Can you please help me out in resolving it.
Thanx and regards

In the past, I have always put the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment setting in the /etc/profile (make sure to export it if necessary) and that seemed to solve all my problems. Make sure you are setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH _environment_ variable in your cgi not just a varible named LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Hi Matt,
Thanx for the response. Actually I did put the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH as $ENV{LD_LIBRARY_PATH}=
Hope you meant the same way. Somehow it doesn't workout.
Secondly since I done have access to /usr/local or /etc/profile
I did install the postgresql and DBD::Pg as per below.
/path_to_preferred_perl_version/perl -I /apps/myapp/perl/lib
Makefile.PL PREFIX=/apps/myapp/perl LIB=/apps/myapp/perl/lib
The issue is yet to resolved ,please let me know if theres any other way
to resolve the same.
Thanx and regards
Sidd

I've had this problem (or something very similar) happen before several
times on new installations. I think I resolved it by re-installing
DBD::Pg - but this was a while ago.
Are you sure Pg.so is in your @INC path?
Try adding this to your CGI to be sure it's looking in the right place.
use lib qw(/path_to_preferred_perl_version/perl /apps/myapp/perl/lib);

Hi Fred/Matt,
I'm still stuck-up at the same issue
(/apps/systran/perl/lib/sun4-solaris/auto/DBD/Pg/Pg.so' for module
DBD::Pg: ld.so.1: /usr/local/bin/perl: fatal: libgcc_s.so.1: open
failed: No such file or directory at
/usr/local/perl5.6.1/lib/sun4-solaris/DynaLoader.pm line 206.
at (eval 1) line 3) .
I did get the following mesg while deploying the POSTGRESQL server.
*** Cannot build PL/Perl because libperl is not a shared
library.
*** You might have to rebuild your Perl installation. Refer to
*** the documentation for details.
It will' be really great if you please let me know whether I'm facing
the issue coz libperl is not shared library?
Thanx and regards
Sidd

TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command
(send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to majordomo@postgresql.org)

The first message references /usr/local/bin/perl so I'm assuming the superuser did a source install of 5.6.1 with the default options. I suggest you install perl from source in your /apps/systran/ directory and enable the option to build a shared libperl. Once you do that add /apps/systran/perl/bin to your PATH and open/refresh your shell. After you have this installed, type 'perl -V' and you should see /apps/systran/perl/... several times in the @INC array, and also the command 'which perl' should return /apps/systran/perl/bin/perl. Now re-install DBD::Pg - since you are using /apps/systran/perl/bin/perl you don't need to specify a prefix, it will be installed under the /apps/systran tree. This should take care of the DynaLoader error. Now build Postgres again and you should be all good - you have your own custom perl application and library that other system users won't accidentally squash. Here's a good reference link to getting your own perl apps/libraries installed. http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2002/04/10/mod_perl.html Feel free to bounce any perl installation questions at me off the list - this procedure should take care of the dependencies and get you going.
