|

<P>Also, you will need the PostgreSQL to Tcl interface library, lined as |
||||
a Tcl/Tk 'load'-able module. It is called libpgtcl and the source is located |
||||
in the PostgreSQL directory /src/interfaces/libpgtcl. Specifically, you |
||||
will need a libpgtcl library that is 'load'-able from Tcl/Tk. This is technically |
||||
different from an ordinary PostgreSQL loadable object file, because libpgtcl |
||||
is a collection of object files. Under Linux, this is called libpgtcl.so. |
||||
<BR> |
||||
You can download <A HREF="libpgtcl.so">from here </A>a version already |
||||
compiled for Linux RedHat 4.2 i386 systems. Just copy libpgtcl.so into |
||||
your system library directory (/usr/lib or /lib) and go for it. One of |
||||
the solutions is to remove from the source the line containing <B>load |
||||
libpgtcl.so </B>and to load pgaccess.tcl not with wish, but with pgwish |
||||
(or wishpg) that wish that was linked with libpgtcl library! </P> |
||||
|
||||
<P>If you have installed RedHat 5.0, you should get the last distribution |
||||
kit of postgreSQL and compile it from scratch. RedHat 5.0 is using some |
||||
new versions of libraries and you have to compile and install again at |
||||
least <B>libpq </B>and <B><TT>libpgtcl </TT></B>libraries. </P> |
||||
|
||||
<P>However, the application should work without problems! </P> |

version running on a Linux RedHat 4.2 i386 systems. Just copy libpgtcl.so |

and libpq.so into your system library directory (/usr/lib or /lib) and |
