<H1>More information about libpgtcl - downloads</H1>
|
|
|
|
<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 <B><A HREF="lib-pg63-redhat42.tar.gz">from
|
|
here</A></B> libpgtcl.so and libpq.so compiled for PostgreSQL 6.3
|
|
version running on a Linux RedHat 4.2 i386 systems. Just copy libpgtcl.so
|
|
and libpq.so into your system library directory (/usr/lib or /lib) and
|
|
go for it. </P>
|
|
|
|
<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
|
|
libpgtcl library! I do not recommend this one. </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>
