Thread: Trying to get started?
Hello, I'm trying to pgaccess to run. I pulled down the pgaccess files from www.flex.ro and I also download libpgtcl and libpq.so.1 from flex. I put both of these file in /usr/lib and made sure that by PATH point to /usr/lib. I then cd to /usr/local/pgaccess, this is where I unziped the files, and ran wish -f ./pgaccess.tcl. The following is the error I got: Error in startup script: couldn't load file "libpgtcl.so": libpq.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory while executing "load libpgtcl.so" (procedure "main" line 6) invoked from within "main $argc $argv" (file "./pgaccess.tcl" line 4954) any help would be appreciated.

You need to run "ldconfig -v" to update the shared library cache
database...

I was wondering if I need an environment variable for wish? If so, can someone tell me what that is? Wayne Wayne wrote: > Hello, > I'm trying to pgaccess to run.

No. No environment variable is needed for wish ! > > I'm trying to pgaccess to run.

Thomas answered your question, but I should also point out
that changing the PATH environment variable as you did isn't necessary,
and won't make a difference when loading dynamic (shared) libraries.
