Обсуждение: psql problem

Background:  I recently upgraded my P166
Slackware based Linux system to glibc.

Among other things:
    Kernel 2.0.35
    XFree86 3.3.2
    egcs 1.0.3a
    glibc 2.0.6
    ncurses 4.2
    tcl/tk 8.0

I decided, since my database is still small,
to upgrade to postgres6.3.2.  I saved my tables
as SQL scripts and destroyed the original
database.

I then installed 6.3.2, including TCL/TK
bindings.  (This doesn't make any difference
to the problem below).

Now I have only partial use of psql.

"psql -f table1.txt mydatabase" will restore
a table.  I can look at/modify the table with
gtksql.

If I do "psql mydatabase" I get the following
results:

$ psql mydatabase
Welcome to the POSTGRESQL interactive sql
 monitor:

 You are currently connected to the database:
 mydatabase

mydatabase=> \W@\W@\W@\W@\W@\W@. . . . forever
(mydatabase can be any one, for me as a user,
or as postgres superuser.  In the later case,
"\W@" becomes "\\207@".

When I attempt to use the debugger, it crashes
with a sig11  (nothing else but the debugger
does this.)

Can anyone give me a clue as to what's going on?

Thanks in advance,

John

Found it.  Took a couple of days vacation.
Amazing how it clears the head.

Evidently changing the system to egcs and
glibc voided part of configure.  Only static
libs were being create.  The libpq.so.1.1
I saw was apparently an old one and was not
being installed.

In case anyone else ever runs into this problem,
the cure is to use the following make line:

gmake LINUX_ELF=1 all >& make.log &
