============================================================================
POSTGRESQL BUG REPORT TEMPLATE
============================================================================

Your name : Colin Madere

System Configuration
---------------------
Architecture (example: Intel Pentium) : Intel Pentium

Operating System (example: Linux 2.0.26 ELF) : Solaris 7

PostgreSQL version (example: PostgreSQL-7.2.3): PostgreSQL-7.2.3

Compiler used (example: gcc 2.95.2) : gcc 3.2

Please enter a FULL description of your problem:
------------------------------------------------

After compilation the initdb/postmaster and/or the createdb command will get
the following error:

ld.so.1: bin/psql: fatal: libgcc_s.so.1: open failed: No such file or
directory

Please describe a way to repeat the problem. Please try to provide a
concise reproducible example, if at all possible:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Follow instructions in README/INSTALL on Solaris 7 with gcc 3.2 using csh
running (at least) on an x86 box.

If you know how this problem might be fixed, list the solution below:

After searching around, I found a fix that made this alteration to the
'src/Makefile.port' file:

Replace:
>>>>> ifeq ($(with_gnu_ld), yes)
>>>>> export_dynamic = -Wl,-E
>>>>> rpath = -Wl,-rpath,$(libdir)
>>>>> else
>>>>> rpath = -R$(libdir)
>>>>> endif
>>>>> shlib_symbolic = -Wl,-Bsymbolic

with:
>>>>> rpath = -L/usr/local/pgsql/lib -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/ssl/lib
>>>>> -L/usr/local/lib/sasl -Wl-R/usr/local/pgsql/lib -Wl,-R/usr/local/lib
>>>>> -Wl,-R/usr/local/ssl/lib -Wl-R/usr/local/lib/sasl
>>>>> shlib_symbolic = -Wl,-Bsymbolic

For my particular install I left out the 'ssl' directory since I'm not using
it and 'sasl' because I didn't have it or know what it was. With this
forced path kludge and setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH all commands seem to
correctly run and I can create and 'log into' a database with psql.

I'm no makefile wizard, but it appears as though the line above in
non-altered version:

>>>>> rpath = -Wl,-rpath,$(libdir)

must be incorrect since '-rpath' isn't a valid compiler/linker switch as far
as I know. I tried changing it to "-R$(libdir)" but that did nothing for
me.
