Thread: psql will not run

psql will not run

From
David Rickard
Date:
After a successful install, and with postmaster running, we cannot get psql (or any of the psql-dependent scripts) to run;

The error message is:

        ld.so.1: /usr/local/app/pgsql/bin/psql: fatal: libgcc_s.so.1: open failed: No such file or directory

We have the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable for the postgres user set to /usr/local/lib:/d1/gcc/lib;

The contents of /usr/local/lib are:

        gcc-lib               libg2c.so.0           libgcj.la             libhistory.a          libiberty.a           libreadline.so        libstdc++.so          security

The contents of /d1/gcc/lib are:

        ib-org-w3c-dom.so        lib-org-xml-sax.so.0.0.0  libg2c.la                 libgcj.la                 libobjc.la                libsupc++.la
        ib-org-w3c-dom.so.0      libffi-2.00-beta.so       libg2c.so                 libgcj.so                 libstdc++.a               security

        ib-org-xml-sax.a         libffi.la                 libg2c.so.0.0.0           libgcj.so.4.0.0           libstdc++.so

I cannot see any reason why the linker cannot find libgcc_s.so.1; any ideas?

If that semicolon is actually part of the variable value, it shouldn't
be.  But I'm not sure that's your problem.  What platform are you on?
LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not used on all Unixen.

Is it exported?

Are these maybe symlinks to non-existent files? Try ls -l
