Re: could not access file "$libdir/pg_buffercache": No such file or directory

I had faced the same problem 2 days earlier and that was for "pg_freespacemap" contrib module.

I did not know the way to ignore these functions and installed THE contrib modules and restored. It worked !

I am also looking for a way to ignore these functions. 

Thanks

I'm in the process of testing out Postgres 9.0 for production use.  I've been using it for development on my mac, a build from EnterpriseDB.  We've just installed a 9.0.5 on an Ubuntu (Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS) machine from a backport from lucid.  There's an existing 8.4.8 postgres install also on that machine, but as far as I'm aware the debs are set up so you can happily have two installs side by side.

I've dumped a test DB from my laptop and attempted to restore it on to the ubuntu machine, but I see errors:

royce@fishy:~$ createdb test
royce@fishy:~$ pg_restore -d test --no-owner test_RTR.pgc

After looking around a bit, my theory on these errors is that my mac has some contrib module installed that adds views to my test database, and those views have been included in the dump.  The contrib module is apparently not installed on the ubuntu machine and hence the restore can't create the views.  Is this theory correct?  If so:

- Can these errors be safely ignored? (not ideal, because I'll miss other, real errors)
- Is there some simple way I can prevent these views from being emitted as part of the dump?
- Is there some simple way I can prevent these views from being restored from a dump that contains them?
- Otherwise, how can I purge these contrib modules from my laptop?

Otherwise, if my theory is incorrect, any hints as to what it might be?

Cheers!
