i've had a similar problem -- apparently postgres thought the index no
longer existed, but the index file still existed on the HD.  i don't know if
this is the correct thing to do or not, but i just went in and deleted the
index file, and things worked fine (for me at least, ymmv)  the index file
should be located in $PGDATA/base/{db_name}/{index_name}

A few things...

First, this shouldn't be discussed on this mailing list

Second, see First.

this is not a general question, this is a specific one...since it is an
unreleased version of PostgreSQL, the *only* list that it should be
discussed on is pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org...

I also believe that it has been discussed, and corrected, since, on that
same mailing list...

 edit file: /home/postgres/pgsql/src/interfaces/ecpg/lib/Makefile
 change ecpglib.sho to ecpglib.sho.o
 and then re-compile.
