Thread: loading plpython error

loading plpython error

From

Platform:  Linux x86-64, CentOS 6, Postgres 11.1.

We have installed from the YUM repo.  The server runs fine but we are trying to add python support.

yum install postrgesql11-contrib postgresql11-plpython

I can see the installed files in the correct locations but when we invoke create extension, we are greeted with the following error:

ERROR:  could not load library "/usr/pgsql-11/lib/plpython2.so": /usr/pgsql-11/lib/plpython2.so: undefined symbol: getmissingattr

Is there something yet to be installed?  Is this a package error?  Any hints to fixing?

thanks
alan

Is there Python 2.x on this machine?

As I understand it by default plpython is for Python 2.x

What happens if you try?:

CREATE EXTENSION plpython3u;

Forget the above, I looked at:

https://yum.postgresql.org/testing/11/redhat/rhel-6-x86_64/repoview/postgresql11-plpython.html

and it only includes plpython2u.

getmissingattr is a new core-PG function in 11.2.  I believe this means
you're trying to load an 11.2 build of plpython2.so into an 11.1 server.
You need to either update the server, or find an 11.1 build of plpython.

I see one possibly related issue talked about on a Debian list that extensions compiled against PostgreSQL 11.2 would likely not load into previous releases due to this missing symbol.


I would guess this is a related version mismatch; likely in the build/release process.

Indeed, that was it.  Thank you Tom!
