Bug reference:      4672
Logged by:          Boris
Email address:      piol...@lpthe.jussieu.fr
PostgreSQL version: 8.3.6
Operating system:   Linux
Description:        undefined symbol: check_encoding_conversion_args
Details: I recently upgraded to 8.3.6, as a result of which encoding conversion does
not seem to work anymore:

$ export PGCLIENTENCODING=ISO-8859-1
$ psql
psql: FATAL: could not load library "/usr/lib/pgsql/utf8_and_iso8859_1.so":
/usr/lib/pgsql/utf8_and_iso8859_1.so: undefined symbol:
check_encoding_conversion_args

My database is in UTF8, if I run the same with export PGCLIENTENCODING=UTF8
everything works fine.

check_encoding_conversion_args is a new internal function in 8.3.6. I suspect that there's a mismatch in the version of PostgreSQL and the associated encoding conversion libraries. Since you upgraded to 8.3.6, have you restarted PostgreSQL? What does "SELECT version()" say?

You're right, that fixed the pb. However I still get a conversion error
from UTF8 into ISO-8859-1::

"Couldn't execute statement: ERROR: character 0xe28099 of encoding "UTF8" has no equivalent in "LATIN1"

SELECT version returns

PostgreSQL 8.3.6 on i386-redhat-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC gcc (GCC) 4.3.0 20080428 (Red Hat 4.3.0-8)

Thanks for any help.

Regards,
Boris
