  1. libpq.so.2.1 missing

    Joseph <lters@mrtc.com> — 2000-05-09T20:26:12Z

    I am trying to upgrade Linux Redhat 6.2 to use the 7.0RC1 RPMS.
    
    When I try to upgrade it always says it is missing libpq.so.2.1.
    
    How do I install that?

    It probably is installed, but can't be found.  You probably have a
    directory /usr/local/pgsql, where PosgreSQL was installed.  It could be
    other places, but this is the standard if you install using ./configure,
    make, make install.
    
    There is a file /etc/ld.so.conf that says where to find shared
    libraries.  Add a line for the PosgreSQL libraries.  I.E. - add a line
    at the end of ld.so.conf that says /usr/local/pgsql/lib (assuming that's
    where they are).
    
    Then run ldconfig to re-read ld.so.conf.  You want to do this as root. 
    Run 'ldconfig -v' to see verbose output.

    As long as your upgrading anyway, throw out your release candidate, and
    go get the real thing!
