One of my customer unable to install plpgsql

Postgres 6.4.2 release

PS:
How about adding something like -a key to pg_version to report full
release and compile information?

    Doesn't  look  to  me like a v6.4.2. SPI_tuptable is a global
    pointer which is defined in .../backend/executor/spi.c.

This problem exists onlty on FreeBSD 3.1
the same sources build on 2.2.8 works properly.

    It  means  that  the  dynamic  loader isn't able to resolve a
    reference  to  the  global  symbol  "SPI_tuptable"  from  the
    PL/pgSQL   shared   object  into  the  backend.   The  symbol
    "SPI_tuptable" is declared in  .../src/backend/executor/spi.c
    as

        DLLIMPORT SPITupleTable *SPI_tuptable;

    Since  this  symbol  is  referenced from another place in the
    backend's static code (in ruleutils.c) I'm  pretty  sure  the
    symbol  is  there.  It must be a problem with the FreeBSD 3.1
    dynamic loader.

OK, I see.

Does any body have the same problem and is there known solution?
