Thread: libpgtcl.so.2.0

libpgtcl.so.2.0

    Greetings,  When attempting to compile a tcl script for 6.5 (The script worked 
previously with 6.3  I found that the build of libpgtcl.so.2.0 is broken.  Version 6.3 had the 
command -lcrypt included in the build, the new version does not.  Thus attempts to load libpgtcl 
result in an error detailing "undefined symbol crypt."  Whoever maintains the packages might 
want to deal with this.  I have since switched to using pgtclsh with success.  I was not doing so previously 
due to a total omission of pgtclsh from the documentation (Rather a problem).  In any case if 
this is an issue that needs to be corrected I thought that I'd let the community know.Collin.

Already fixed for v6.5.1 (I think) and the current CVS tree.

Great!

Is this still a problem? If so, where would you suggest it be included
in the docs? As an application, or as something else??

On what kind of box (OS, arch, CPU, etc), and what kind of "package"? 
Also, 6.5.1 fixes several problems -- don't know if this is one of them
or not.

If this is an RPM package issue, then e-mail me and cc: Thomas Lockhart.

I believe this is fixed in 6.5.1.  It's just a silly omission (if you
check the 6.5 makefile for libpgtcl, you'll see that it's trying to
include -lcrypt if it exists in LIBS ... but we forgot to have configure
put its value of LIBS into Makefile.global :-().
