Thread: library version problem, 7.3.2, php, redhat linux
ok, i'm confused.
i have two systems. one is redhat 7.1 (a server in colo, reasonably
current), the other is 8.0 (my laptop). the server in colo is running
postgresql 7.3.2 along with redhat's updated versions of apache and php for
7.1 (the php version is 4.1.2) on this server, php can access postgres
without difficulty.
my laptop is also running 7.3.2 along with the apache and php that go with
RH 8.0. i found a need to bring up apache so i could test some php against
postgresql, and was suprised to find that is failing (it'd been a while
since i'd run the web server on this system). reviewing
/var/log/httpd/error_log showed the following:
[Thu Sep 11 16:17:25 2003] [notice] caught SIGTERM, shutting down
PHP Warning: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php4/pgsql.so'
- libpq.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
in Unknown on line 0
this seems to clearly be a library versioning problem, as
"ls -l /usr/lib/libpq*" gives me
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 113800 Feb 5 2003 /usr/lib/libpq.a
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Jun 26 14:19 /usr/lib/libpq.so -> libpq.so.3.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Aug 1 08:09 /usr/lib/libpq.so.3 -> libpq.so.3.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 552967 Jul 28 18:30 /usr/lib/libpq.so.3.0
[root@skipper lib]#
i remember having problems with libpq.so.2 disappearing when i installed
7.3.2, and i had to recompile the exim MTA because i have it using
postgresql, but i don't remember php having these issues.
so why would php->postgresql access be working on the 7.1 system but not
the 8.0 system?
thanks,
richard

The complaint is that the PHP interface to PostgreSQL isn't found. As for why it can't be found I can't really help. Could be PHP configure/build, could be it wasn't installed.

If I understand the error message correctly, it looks as though /usr/lib/php4/pgsql.so is linked to libpq.so.2, which does not exist.

Doh! Trust me to not read the original message properly. Still I'd point to my PHP build/configure comment if you'd left that in the quoted the matterial :) It does look like PHP needs rebuilding so that it uses the right postgresql library. However, isn't this supposed to be a plain install of Redhat, i.e. installed from RPMs with nothing upgraded to versions outside of the original distribution so everything matches? -- Nigel J.

RedHat 9 ships with a package called: postgresql72-libs-1-3.i386.rpm It might be that hasn't been picked up as a dependency. -- Richard Huxton Archonet Ltd

i don't think so.
/usr/lib/php4/pqsql.so is there, and is generating the message. pqsql.so is
complaining that it can't find /usr/lib/libpq.so.2
if you look at the ls -l, you clearly see that /usr/lib/libpq.so.2 is not
there. this change in library versions happened when i upgraded to 7.3.2, i
had to recompile some stuff, but on the 7.1 machine i didn't have to make
any changes to php, and on the 8.0 machine, clearly there's an issue. since
in installing 7.3.2 i stepped out of the normal rh release cycle, it's not
obvious how to go forward from here.

correct. libpq comes from postgresql, not php

chances are on your colo box they installed 7.2 at some point which gave
you libpq.so.2 (or someone symlinked the 2 files so as to hack there way
out of this problem). i think your choices now are to install 7.2
pgsql-libs rpm on the 8.0 box or to recompile apache/php so it links
against libpq.so.3

no and no.
i'm the only admin the colo box has ever had, and it is solidly still at rh
7.1.
i never symlinked libpq.so.2 at any point in time. when i upgraded
postgres, i observed my exim install failing, so i rebuilt that. i never
saw any other problems related to the library version change on the 7.1
box.

where the question is this -- given that the box is running 7.3.2
successfully and needs to be running 7.3.x (that is, i won't downgrade it),
will installing 7.2 pgsql-libs break stuff?

oh joy. time to download the source rpms. glad i'm not in a hurry.
