Re: BUG #12344: libcurses issue with psql binary of Solaris package

Hello!,

And by the way=E2=80=A6 have done some checks=E2=80=A6.

Have just build Postgresql 9.4.0 in Solaris 11.2 with this flags=E2=80=A6.=


export CC=3D'/usr/gcc/4.8/bin/gcc -m64'
export CXX=3D'/usr/gcc/4.8/bin/c++ -m64'
export LDFLAGS=3D'-L/usr/local/lib -R/usr/local/lib'
export CPPFLAGS=3D'-I/usr/local/include'

later=20

 ./configure --prefix=3D/tmp/postgresql-prueba
 gmake

Just for ensuring was a bug in some Solaris library=E2=80=A6=E2=80=A6 =
and not a versioning issue (the package is compiled against or =
whatever=E2=80=A6.) or whatever=E2=80=A6=20

/tmp/prueba-comp-postgres/postgresql-9.4.0/src/bin/psql# ./psql
ld.so.1: psql: fatal: libpq.so.5: open failed: No such file or directory
Killed

It has not build libpq which I don=E2=80=99t really know why not=E2=80=A6 =
but like was just for the testing purpose=E2=80=A6. have copied the =
Postgresql binary package for Solaris libpq.so* files=E2=80=A6.

/tmp/prueba-comp-postgres/postgresql-9.4.0/src/bin/psql# cp =
/usr/postgres/9.4-pgdg/lib/libpq.so* .

It=E2=80=99s not being broken now=E2=80=A6=E2=80=A6 So perhaps is that =
it was build against for instance Solaris 11 not Solaris 11.2 and some =
issue exist with that linkage=E2=80=A6. done with a previous =
version=E2=80=A6..

If you tell me how=E2=80=A6 I wouldn=E2=80=99t mind creating it for =
Solaris 11.2 again the Postgresql package and donating it to you=E2=80=A6.=

What is the proper way of building in Solaris?? With libpq and all =
components?

Thank you so much,
Best regards,
