Thread: libpgtcl.so missing from pgaccess on FreeBSD4.0?
How do you locate/create the "libpgtcl.so" in order to run pgaccess under FreeBSD 4.0 - As far as I can tell, it does not appear to be part of the pgaccess distribution located under /contrib. This is called by main.tcl as a required shared library. Thanks. DLampe -

Here's how I did it: ./configure --prefix=$PG_RUN -with-odbc --with-tcl --with-tk | tee configure.log Regards, Ed Loehr

i just did this under FreeBSD 4.0 and pgsql-6.5.3 (although i suspect that
pgsql-7.x is probably the same).
you need to install tcl and tk
[ the following is specific to using freebsd ports/tcl83/tk83 ]
you then need to add the following to your ./configure run:
--with-tcl \
--with-tclconfig=/usr/local/lib/tcl8.3 \
--with-tkconfig=/usr/local/lib/tk8.3 \
--with-includes=/usr/local/include/tcl8.3:/usr/local/include/tk8.3 \
now, for some reason, the --with-includes did not work as expected.
i modified src/interfaces/libpgtcl/Makefile to do a:
CFLAGS += -I/usr/local/include/tcl8.3
CFLAGS += -I/usr/local/include/tk8.3
this will allow the build of libpgtcl to finish without errors.
since i had a running 6.5.3 system, i didn't want to do a whole gmake install,
so i did:
$ cd src/interfaces/libpgtcl
$ gmake install
...
$ cd src/bin/pgaccess
$ gmake install
i did have to edit ~pgsql/pgaccess/main.tcl so that it used "wish8.3" as
opposed to "wish", since the freebsd ports collection installs a shell
script as /usr/local/bin/wish and that shell script basically says to hard
code which version of wish you want (since sometimes you have multiple
versions).
once this was done (and an ldconfig to rehash the shared libraries in
~pgsql/lib) pgaccess worked fine.

Thanks. > >DLampe - find / -name "*libpgtcl*" -print Make sure that your ld.so.conf or equivalent (whever ldconfig uses to know what directories to look at) includes the directory that file is in. Some systems do not have /usr/local/lib in the conf file, but programs install libs there. After adding that directory to ld.so.conf, re-run ldconfig as root. You should be able to access it then. If you're not root or don't feel like messing with ld.so.conf, you can probably use a line like "LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/path/to/libpgtcl ; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH" before calling pgaccess.

you then need to add the following to your ./configure run:
--with-tcl \
--with-tclconfig=/usr/local/lib/tcl8.3 \
--with-tkconfig=/usr/local/lib/tk8.3 \
--with-includes=/usr/local/include/tcl8.3:/usr/local/include/tk8.3 \
now, for some reason, the --with-includes did not work as expected.
Arguments are SPACE separated lists, so instead try:
--with-includes="/usr/local/include/tcl8.3 /usr/local/include/tk8.3" \
Works for me with NetBSD.
