Re: pltlc and pltlcu problems

<br /> ok ok - so i went off and read a LOT about Tcl - cool what a nice tool<br /><br /> and then i downloaded the
tcl/tksources and built with appropriate configure options and installed it - in approprate places (in /usr/bin - over
theold copies that were already there) and ran the tests and dowloaded some TCl samples and played with the apps <br
/><br/> as i had been using the postgres 7.2 beta i reinstalled 7.13 over the top - right from the start, reconfigured,
recompiled,reinstalled, reinitialised<br /><br /> and tried to call a tcl function yet again - but now i get this
error<br/><br /><pre>ERROR:  pltcl: internal error - cannot create 'normal' interpreter</pre> but hmm, that's further
thani got before and at least the database does not restart itself in the process<br /><br /> and in the code i have
gotone step further<br /><br /> any clues?<br /><br /> murray<br /><pre>        if ((pltcl_hold_interp =
Tcl_CreateInterp())== NULL)<br />        {<br />                elog(ERROR, "pltcl: internal error - cannot create
'hold'"<br />                         "interpreter");<br />        }<br /><br />
/************************************************************<br/>         * Create the two interpreters<br />
************************************************************/<br/>        if ((pltcl_norm_interp =<br />
Tcl_CreateSlave(pltcl_hold_interp, "norm", 0)) == NULL)<br />        {<br />                elog(ERROR,<br />
       "<b>pltcl: internal error - cannot create 'normal' interpreter</b>");<br />        }<br /><br /><br /><br

absolutelyNOT be in<br />/usr/lib/postgresql.  The question for you is where it actually lives<br />(if it's installed
atall), and next why the dynamic loader search path<br />isn't finding it.<br /><br />            regards, tom lane<br
