Hello Etienne,
Thanks for your answer.
What do you mean by "you may have hitten yourself in the foot with the
--disable-shared option"?
When I don't use this option, everything works fine.
Compiling PostgreSQL 8.4.7 doesn't work either.
The problem is that I need a static libpq. Leaving out the --disable-shared
option doesn't results in some pseudo-static libpq and my application still
requires a dynamic libpq apart from the static one.
Regards,
Julia
