Description: Error initializing slon in command line and hence
running Slony
Details:
Hello everyone, I tried to find a solution for a few days now on an error
that kept occuring after
trying to install & run slony-1 immediately after installing postgres DB
system.
What kept on happening after installing slony-1 via the stackbuilder and
then testing the slon
service in command line was an error containing the following:
"The procedure entry point libiconv_set_relocation_prefix could not be
located in the dynamic link
library libiconv-2.dll".
Windows log had this in the error report:
libiconv-2.dll!libiconv_set_relocation_prefix
It took a while to realise that when I install slony-1, it creates and
overwrites the file libiconv
-2.dll found in the bin of the postgres installation folder. The only
difference between the files
are their size & date created.
What I found as a work around was to first stop the posgres service, then
use the libiconv-2.dll
(947kb) originally installed by postgres and by either renaming or moving
that file to then
overwrite the libiconv-2.dll created by the slony installation. Meaning, the
file that should remain
for everything to work is the original libiconv-2.dll (947kb) created by the
postgres installation.
If this error was already addressed please let me know as I really was
trying to find a solution to
the above problem and could not find one suitable.
