A user download a pre-built PostgreSQL 7.4.7 from somewhere and a pre-built pljava distro from gborg. He gets everything running but suddenly encounteres problems with the timetz type. PL/Java apparently return the time as zero. The problem is caused by the postgresql binary being built using --enable-integer-datetimes whereas the PL/Java binary is not.
The dynamic loader doesn't detect this and I bet there's a ton of combinations that will link just fine but perhaps crash (badly) in runtime. I would like to detect discrepancies like this during runtime somehow. I feel that it's either that or stop providing pre-built binaries altogether. I realize that I can't be the only one with this problem. How is this normally handled?
