Re: [HACKERS] $libdir and 8.0

[Paul Ramsey]

The expansions in the build scripts all seem correct, and in fact, all 
the libraries are installed in the right place, both the system stuff 
(plpgsql.so) and the contrib stuff (libpostgis.so) ends up in 
/opt/foo/lib/postgresql. It is the actual binaries that seem to not know 
where $libdir is supposed to be.

prefix := /home/pramsey/pgtest/8.0
exec_prefix := ${prefix}
libdir := ${exec_prefix}/lib
pkglibdir = $(libdir)
ifeq "$(findstring pgsql, $(pkglibdir))" ""
ifeq "$(findstring postgres, $(pkglibdir))" ""
override pkglibdir := $(pkglibdir)/postgresql
endif
endif

When installing PgSQL into a non-standard location (like /opt/foo) the

$libdir (perhaps it is referencing the $libdir macro instead of the 
$pkglibdir macro?).  So tools like 'createlang' fail, and loading .sql 
files that reference things like $libdir/libfoo.so also fail.
I'm not sure but if you add /opt/foo/lib/postgresql to /etc/ld.so.conf and 
run ldconfig, it might work.

I checked in the code and $libdir should expand to $(pkglibdir) as
determined by configure.  What value to you show for that in
your Makefile.global?
