Re: : Unable to load libsqlpg.so

There is no version of this library linked to a newer postgres version.
Symlinking libpq.so.3 to libpq.so.2 doesn't work with 7.4 anymore - at least
not here on my mandrake box.
I found no way to get this working except for compiling a libpq from a
postgres 7.2.x version - not what you want to do.
However: kylix comes with an odbc driver. I just set up my unixodbc and told
all my reports to use odbc -> works quite fine.
So maybe until borland comes up with a newer version of libsqlpg.so you'd have
to resort to odbc.

Hope that helps
