Thread: Misplaced pg_upgrade_support.so ?

Hi,

First off, thank you for bringing this into contrib.

I built beta2 this morning to give pg_upgrade a test run, and everything
worked out great.  The only thing I am not sure of is the expected
location of pg_upgrade_support.so.  It is a default build with the
exception of "--prefix=/usr/local/pgsql-beta2"; pg_upgrade_support.so
ended up in /usr/local/pgsql-beta2/lib.

Here is what I saw when running pg_upgrade initially:

%pg_upgrade -d /var/db/pgsql/data \
  -D /var/db/pgsql/data2 \
  -b /usr/local/pgsql-beta1/bin \
  -B /usr/local/pgsql-beta2/bin
Performing Consistency Checks
-----------------------------
Checking old data directory (/var/db/pgsql/data)            ok
Checking new data directory (/var/db/pgsql/data2)           ok


pg_upgrade_support.so must be created and installed in \
/usr/local/pgsql-beta2/lib/postgresql/pg_upgrade_support.so

Is this module ending up in the wrong location on install, or is
pg_upgrade looking in the wrong place?

Thanks and regards,

Added to Open Items page for 9.0.  Bruce says he should get to checking
it sometime tonight or tommorrow.  Thanks for bug report.

Just to follow up, Bruce did take a look at this on -general.  In short,
it turns out to be operator error - I never cleaned the source
directories, which caused the extra '/postgresql/' directory in the
hierarchy.

The relevant thread is here:

Thanks to Bruce and Takahiro Itagaki for taking a look.
