Thread: tcl on Mac OS X
I've been experimenting with Mac OS X lately and would like to get pgaccess running on it. The database itself is on another machine, but I built the libpq and libpgtcl interfaces on OS X and installed them to /usr/local/pgsql/lib. The version of tcl that comes with OS X doesn't support dynamic loading, so I rebuilt tcl/tk 8.3.3 with a patch that enables dynamic loading on OS X. After installing that, I downloaded pgaccess and gave it a shot...and I got the following error message: Error in startup script: dyld: permission denied while executing "load libpgtcl[info sharedlibextension]" (procedure "main" line 3) invoked from within "main $argc $argv" (file "/usr/local/pgaccess/main.tcl" line 249) I'm not quite sure what that means...my only guess was the permissions were wrong on either libpq or libpgtcl, but they look ok to me: [localhost:local/pgsql/lib] root# ll total 1856 drwxr-xr-x 10 root wheel 296 Aug 30 16:55 . drwxr-xr-x 4 root wheel 92 Aug 30 16:32 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 201368 Aug 30 16:32 libpgtcl.a lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 15 Aug 30 16:55 libpgtcl.so -> libpgtcl.so.2.1 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 15 Aug 30 16:55 libpgtcl.so.2 -> libpgtcl.so.2.1 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 243396 Aug 30 16:32 libpgtcl.so.2.1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 306044 Aug 30 16:55 libpq.a lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 12 Aug 30 16:55 libpq.so -> libpq.so.2.1 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 12 Aug 30 16:55 libpq.so.2 -> libpq.so.2.1 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 174228 Aug 30 16:55 libpq.so.2.1 I'm in XDarwin when I'm running it, so it shouldn't be an X Windows related problem. Does anyone else have any ideas? --Jeremy [jeremy@wellsgaming.com]

Tried this and got a new error message: [localhost:~] buchmann% /usr/local/pgaccess/pgaccess Error in startup script: couldn't find procedure .dylib_Init while executing "load /usr/local/pgsql/lib/libpgtcl.so [info sharedlibextension]" (procedure "main" line 3) invoked from within "main $argc $argv" (file "/usr/local/pgaccess/main.tcl" line 249) Still looks like some dyn lib stuff. While going over the process in my head, I remembered that Tk wasn't patched, so it probably didn't compile with dynamic loading...do you think this could be the problem? Thanks, Jeremy Buchmann [jeremy@wellsgaming.com]

I think that Tcl does the library loading, so Tk might not be a problem! Why don't you try to build from sources "pgtclsh" and skip that dynamic loading? Teo
