Thread: ld.so failed
Hello, after installation of postgresql 6.4.2 on my Freebsd machine I can not create a database bash-2.03$ createdb mydb ld.so failed: Can't find shared library "libpq.so.2.0" createdb: database creation failed on mydb. I have checked the permissons and the PATH env. Everything seems to be ok. I checked the lib/ dir for pqlib.so.2.0 and it is there. So wath can I do? Any hints? TIA C. -- Carsten Huettl - <http://www.ahorn-Net.de> pgp-key on request

From the command line as root run the following: /sbin/ldconfig -m /usr/local/pgsql/lib/ Do not just run ldconfig by itself on FreeBSD or you are in for a surprise because it resets your library paths incorrectly. See the freebsd.org website for a detailed explanation.
