Thread: problem with LOAD

hello every body

i have some problem with LOAD command

postgres=> LOAD '/usr/local/pgsql/complex.so';
pqReadData() -- backend closed the channel unexpectedly.
  This probably means the backend terminated abnormally before or while
processing the request.
We have lost the connection to the backend, so further processing is
impossible.  Terminating.
$>>

I build complex.so by:

>> gcc -I../include -I../backend   -O2 -m486 -pipe  -Wall
-Wmissing-prototypes -I../interfaces/libpq -I../../include   -c
complex.c -o complex.o
>> ld -x -r -o complex.o.obj complex.o
>> ranlib complex.so.pic
>> ld -x -Bshareable -o complex.so complex.so.pic

I use FreeBSD-3.1 with PostgreSQL 6.4.2

thanks

This is a known problem with FreeBSD-3.1 and PostgreSQL I had too with
6.5 cvs version. I suppose you use FreeBSD elf ? Take a look to
ports for freebsd-elf specific patches or just change

src/Makefile.shlib

ifeq ($(PORTNAME), freebsd)
  ifdef BSD_SHLIB
    install-shlib-dep   := install-shlib
    ifdef ELF_SYSTEM
      shlib             := lib$(NAME)$(DLSUFFIX).$(SO_MAJOR_VERSION)
      LDFLAGS_SL        := -x -shared -soname $(shlib)
    else
      shlib             := lib$(NAME)$(DLSUFFIX).$(SO_MAJOR_VERSION).$(SO_MINOR_VERSION)
      LDFLAGS_SL        := -x -Bshareable -Bforcearchive
    endif
    CFLAGS              += $(CFLAGS_SL)
  endif
endif

and makefiles/Makefile.freebsd

ifdef ELF_SYSTEM
LDFLAGS+=       -export-dynamic
endif

%.so: %.o
ifdef ELF_SYSTEM
        $(LD) -x -shared -o $@ $<
else
        $(LD) -x -r -o $<.obj $<
        @echo building shared object $@
        @rm -f $@.pic
        @${AR} cq $@.pic order $<.obj | tsort
        ${RANLIB} $@.pic
        @rm -f $@
        $(LD) -x -Bshareable -Bforcearchive -o $@ $@.pic
endif

This works for me !


    Regards,

PS.
These patches are already applied to current 6.5 sources.
