Almost exactly the same result: The library will not install in ~pgsql/lib.
I installed by hand; cd ~/src/pgsql/src/interfaces/libpgtcl;make install.
I specified in configure --with-tcl, which to my narrow mind, heavily
influenced with the 6.2 behavior, it sounds like a bug.

Nope. I also did (as root :-), ldconfig -m ~pgsql/lib, and added
~pgsql/lib to LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Not so simple. first, I added both known Unix methods of broadcasting a
library (LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and ldconfig), to no avail.
Then, I edit pgaccess.tcl, to have the library explicitly specified.
Now I get:
$ /usr/local/bin/wish8.1 src/pgsql/src/bin/pgaccess/pgaccess.tcl
Error in startup script: couldn't load file
"/usr/local/pgsql/lib/libpgtcl.so": Undefined symbol "_PQnotifies" in
wish8.1:/usr/local/pgsql/lib/libpgtcl.so
while executing
"load /usr/local/pgsql/lib/libpgtcl.so"
(procedure "main" line 3)
invoked from within
"main $argc $argv
"
Instead of $ /usr/local/bin/wish8.1 src/pgsql/src/bin/pgaccess/pgaccess.tcl
Error in startup script: couldn't load file "libpgtcl.so": cannot stat
"libpgtcl.so" : No such file or directory
while executing
"load libpgtcl.so"
(procedure "main" line 3)
invoked from within
"main $argc $argv
"
(file "src/pgsql/src/bin/pgaccess/pgaccess.tcl" line 4505)
This holds true for wish 8.1, 8.0, 4.2, 4.1
This is why I love TCL so much. The concept of backwards compatability, or
inter-port compatability has not been discovered yet. I have a customer
who needs/likes pgaccess. Any help will be appreciated.
