Thread: Error message when using perl to connect to Postgres Server

Error message when using perl to connect to Postgres Server

Hi!
 
I installed (compiled) latest versions of Perl, Postgres.
 
I can access the database via 'psql' but allways get an error when trying to connect from a perl-script :
 
The message is : Unsupported frontend protocol
 
As far as I could see, this has something to do with libpq ?
Is this correct ?
libpq.so.2 and libpq.so.3 are compiled with Postgres. What for libpq.so.1 ? I cannot find the sources anywhere, only the binary is on my system !
 
Thanks for help!
 
Erik

Make sure your perl DBD-Pg and DBI are compiled with the correct version
of postgres.
