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!
