Your name : Sergei Laskavy Your email address : <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> System Configuration --------------------- Architecture (example: Intel Pentium) : Sun SPARC Operating System (example: Linux 2.0.26 ELF) : Sun Solaris 2.5.1 PostgreSQL version (example: PostgreSQL-7.0): PostgreSQL-7.0.2 Compiler used (example: gcc 2.8.0) : gcc 2.95.2 19991024 (release) Please enter a FULL description of your problem: ------------------------------------------------ The generated Makefile for `interfaces/libpq++' starts the ld -G -o libpq++.so.3.1 pgconnection.o pgdatabase.o pgtransdb.o pgcursordb.o pglobject.o -L../../interfaces/libpq -lpq -ldl -lsocket -lresolv -lnsl -lm -lc command which depends on the ld version which depends on the user $PATH. If the GNU ld is first, ld stops with error: pgconnection.o: could not read symbols: Bad value If the `Software Generation Utilities - Solaris/ELF (3.0)' ld from /usr/ccs/bin is first, everything is OK. Please describe a way to repeat the problem. Please try to provide a concise reproducible example, if at all possible: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- tar xfz postgresql-7.0.2.tar.gz cd postgresql-7.0.2/src ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/postgresql-7.0.2 --enable-locale --with-includes=/usr/local/include --with-libraries=/usr/local/lib --with-perl --enable-recode PATH=/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/ucb:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/ccs/bin gmake The tail of make log is: g++ -pipe -g -O2 -I../../backend -I../../include -I../../interfaces/libpq -fPIC -c pgconnection.cc -o pgconnection.o g++ -pipe -g -O2 -I../../backend -I../../include -I../../interfaces/libpq -fPIC -c pgdatabase.cc -o pgdatabase.o g++ -pipe -g -O2 -I../../backend -I../../include -I../../interfaces/libpq -fPIC -c pgtransdb.cc -o pgtransdb.o g++ -pipe -g -O2 -I../../backend -I../../include -I../../interfaces/libpq -fPIC -c pgcursordb.cc -o pgcursordb.o g++ -pipe -g -O2 -I../../backend -I../../include -I../../interfaces/libpq -fPIC -c pglobject.cc -o pglobject.o ar crs libpq++.a pgconnection.o pgdatabase.o pgtransdb.o pgcursordb.o pglobject.o ranlib libpq++.a ld -G -o libpq++.so.3.1 pgconnection.o pgdatabase.o pgtransdb.o pgcursordb.o pglobject.o -L../../interfaces/libpq -lpq -ldl -lsocket -lresolv -lnsl -lm -lc pgconnection.o: could not read symbols: Bad value gmake: *** [libpq++.so.3.1] Error 1 If you know how this problem might be fixed, list the solution below: --------------------------------------------------------------------- I was able to link a shared library using this (maybe more portable than `ld') command: gcc -shared -o libpq++.so.3.1 pgconnection.o pgdatabase.o pgtransdb.o pgcursordb.o pglobject.o
