Hi Tom,
I am running a Red Hat 9.0 on a Dell server.
On the datafiles I created using the "absolute path"-hack to replace
$libdir, I started postmaster. I configured postgresql.conf to accept tcp
connections. I then ran
[EMAIL PROTECTED] postgres]$ /opt/postgres-7.4.1/bin/createdb testdb
CREATE DATABASE
Which work ok. Finally, I started psql (as user postgres), and tried your
suggested statement:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] postgres]$ /opt/postgres-7.4.1/bin/psql -d testdb
Welcome to psql 7.4.1, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.
Type: \copyright for distribution terms
\h for help with SQL commands
\? for help on internal slash commands
\g or terminate with semicolon to execute query
\q to quit
testdb=# CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION dummy (INTEGER, INTEGER, CSTRING,
CSTRING,INTEGER)
testdb-# RETURNS VOID AS '$libdir/ascii_and_mic', 'ascii_to_mic' LANGUAGE
'c' STRICT;
ERROR: could not access file "$libdir/ascii_and_mic": No such file or
directory
ERROR: could not access file "$libdir/ascii_and_mic": No such file or
directory
testdb=#
And you are right -- the problem is back.
I assume that $libdir is evaluating to either a wrong or an empty string. I
am not sure, but I tend to believe the latter.
Does this give you any clues ?
Regards,
Thomas.

Well, that proves the shared library wasn't broken, but it leaves us
no wiser about what the problem really was. I'd like to keep after it.
I tried configuring with a trailing "/" on a Red Hat 8.0 box here, and
it seemed to work just fine. You did not specify what Red Hat release
you were using, but I suspect that idea is a dead end.
You could investigate further without having to reinitdb, just try the
CREATE FUNCTION command in psql:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION dummy (INTEGER, INTEGER, CSTRING,
CSTRING,INTEGER)
RETURNS VOID AS '$libdir/ascii_and_mic', 'ascii_to_mic' LANGUAGE 'c' STRICT;
I expect this will fail as before. Could you strace the attached
backend process while it's trying to do this command?
regards, tom lane
