Thread: share directory on windows

share directory on windows

From

Hello,

I wanted to install text search dictionaries on Windows 8.4 installation with the following command:

CREATE TEXT SEARCH DICTIONARY skspell
      (template=ispell, dictfile = slovak_utf8, afffile=slovak_utf8, stopwords=slovak_utf8);

but got this error:
ERROR: could not open dictionary file "/usr/share/postgresql/8.4/tsearch_data/slovak_utf8.dict": No such file or
directory
SQL state: F0000

The file is located in c:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.4\share\tsearch_data\slovak_utf8.dict. Is this an incorrect
location?Where is the correct location or how to point the database to look in my current location? 

Thanks in advance,
Viliam

That's pretty bizarre.  Did you move the postgres executable relative to
the tsearch_data files?  It looks like you could get a hard-wired path
if you moved the executable out of its intended place.  It's still not
too clear to me why you got *that* hard-wired path though; I'd have
expected the built-in value to be something different from that in a
Windows build.  Whose build are you using?

            regards, tom lane

Sorry, my fault, I copied the dictionary files to my local windows installation, but was connected to our linux
installation.Connecting to the right server resolves the problem :)
