PostgreSQL version: 8.0.1
Operating system: Linux
Description: Getting an "undefined symbol" when loading contrib mod.
Details:

I'm trying to use ltree to sort one of my table using a tree like column
("1", "1.1", "1.2", "2", "2.1", etc.)

Everything compiles, after my fix to the .sql.in -> .sql convertion
($(libdir) instead of $$libdir in pgxs.mk) and everything also seems to be
installed properly.

However, in version 7.4.6 and version 8.0.1, when I try to load the module,
it says it can't find the symbol errstart (one of the elog functions better
known as ereport).

There are a few versions if that helps at all...

gcc (GCC) 3.4.3

GNU ld version 2.13.90.0.18 20030206

ldd (GNU libc) 2.3.2

There is the complete message I'm getting from postgres

crm=> SET search_path = public;
