More information about libpgtcl - downloads</H1>
|

Also, you will need the PostgreSQL to Tcl interface
|

library, lined as a Tcl/Tk 'load'-able module. It is called libpgtcl and
|
||||
the source is located in the PostgreSQL directory /src/interfaces/libpgtcl.
|
||||
Specifically, you will need a libpgtcl library that is 'load'-able from
|
||||
Tcl/Tk. This is technically different from
|
||||
an ordinary PostgreSQL loadable object file, because libpgtcl is a collection
|
||||
of object files. Under Linux, this is called libpgtcl.so. <BR>
|
||||
You can download <B><A HREF="lib-pg63-redhat42.tar.gz">from

here</A></B> libpgtcl.so and libpq.so compiled for PostgreSQL 6.3

go for it. </P>

of object files. Under Linux, this is called libpgtcl.so.
|
||||
<P> One of the solutions is to remove from the
|

source the line containing <B>load libpgtcl.so </B>and to load pgaccess.tcl
|

not with wish, but with pgwish (or wishpg) that wish that was linked with

|
||||
<P> If you have installed RedHat 5.x, you should

RedHat 5.0 is using some new versions of libraries and you have to compile

RedHat 5.x is using some new versions of libraries and you have to compile

</P>
|

|

<P>However, the application should work without problems! </P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P> PostgreSQL 6.4 release has a minor bug. I does not
|
||||
includ by default the crypt lib when compiling libpgtcl. So, you will need
|

to manually add a -lcrypt to SHLIB line in Makefile in src/interfaces/libpgtcl
|

and then make clean and make again. The new libpgtcl.so library is properly
|
||||
configured to run pgaccess.
