<P>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 <A HREF="libpgtcl.so">from here </A>a version already
|
|
compiled for Linux i386 systems. Just copy libpgtcl.so into your system
|
|
library director (/usr/lib) and go for it. 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 libpgtcl library! </P>
|
|
|
|
<P>If you have installed RedHat 5.0, you should get the last distribution
|
|
kit of postgreSQL and compile it from scratch. RedHat 5.0 is using some
|
|
new versions of libraries and you have to compile and install again at
|
|
least <B>libpq </B>and <B><TT>libpgtcl </TT></B>libraries.</P>
|
|
|
|
<P>However, the application should work without problems! </P>
