Thread: createlang plperl fails with 8.0 beta5

Hi.

If I try createlang plperl I get:

postgres@asus:~$ /usr/local/pgsql/bin/createlang plperl shop
createlang: language installation failed: ERROR:  could not access file
"$libdir/plperl": No such file or directory

Checking my build dirs I find that no plperl.so has been build
(--with-perl was used in configure). Instead I find a libplperl.so in
the pgperl build directory.

Has plperl.so been renamed? Any hints on what is going wrong?

Thanks,
Joachim

That's how it's built, but it should be installed as plperl.so.  Are you
sure you are looking in the right $libdir?

I did not give any directory options during install, so

ls -l /usr/local/pgsql/lib/ | grep perl

should show it, right?

Thanks,

jo@asus:~$ /usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_config --pkglibdir
/usr/local/pgsql/lib

and there is

jo@asus:~$ ls -l /usr/local/pgsql/lib/ | grep pl
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root staff  146322 2004-12-01 09:27 plpgsql.so

I fixed this by copying libplperl.so.0.0 to
/usr/local/pgsql/lib/plperl.so. Probably there is some glitch in the
Makefile or in ./configure.

Thx,
Joachim

Probably more like /usr/local/lib/postgresql ... did you look at the
directory structure?  Or consult pg_config --pkglibdir ?
