Thread: libpq - main symbol unresolved.

Hi Folks
   I am using Solaris-2.8 with all the gnu tools. I am trying
to compile php with PostgreSQL and when I run apache, I
get this error, I have LD_LIBRARY_PATH set to include
/usr/local/pgsql/lib:/usr/local/lib and export it.
   Everything works fine, when I do not include "postgreSQL".
When I compiled and tested PostgreSQL all the tests passed.

I would greatly appreciate any help

This looks more like a problem in the libphp link process and/or the httpd
dynamic loading process.

I have seen a similar failure on AIX recently. It seems that 
php (and tcl, which was my case) use a somewhat different way to load 
the shared libs than PostgreSQL does.

While PostgreSQL does not care, they need a shared lib that was linked 
with a switch to specify no entry (like -bnoentry on AIX).
Maybe that has to do with our RTLD_LAZY ?
