Thread: pg_restore in debian postgresql 7.3.2-3

I installed the above package on my debian box. The pg_restore command
fails with the following error:

pg_restore: [archiver (db)] could not execute query: ERROR:  stat failed on
file '$libdir/plpgsql': No such file or directory

my environment ist set to:

PGDATA=/var/lib/postgres/data
PGLIB=/usr/lib/postgresql/lib
POSTGRES_HOME=/var/lib/postgres
POSTGRES_LOG=/var/log/postgres.log

The plpgsql.so lib is in the $PGLIB directory.

Any hints?

Thanks & best regards
Herbie

AFAIR, Postgres has not paid attention to the PGLIB environment variable
for a very long time.  (I still have it set too, but only 'cause I
haven't gotten round to removing it from ~/.profile ...)

"pg_config --pkglibdir" should tell you what $libdir actually resolves
as.

The debian package seems to be a little bit broken. After creating
a symlink from /usr/lib/posgresql/lib/plpgsql.so to /usr/lib/postgresql
everything is running as expected
