I'm migrating from Postgres 8.3.10 to 8.4.4, and also from Fedora 9 to Ubuntu 10.04. On 8.3.10, I have a C extension that worked on 8.3, but now refuses to load on 8.4: CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION chmoogle_session_id() RETURNS integer AS '/usr/local/pgsql/lib/libchmoogle.so', 'chmoogle_session_id' LANGUAGE 'C' VOLATILE; ERROR: could not load library "/usr/local/pgsql/lib/libchmoogle.so": /usr/local/pgsql/lib/libchmoogle.so: undefined symbol: _ZN9OpenBabel4etabE So it finds the first shared library, libchmoogle.so. But the symbol _ZN9OpenBabel4etabE is from a second library, the OpenBabel (chemistry) shared library, which is also located in /usr/local/pgsql/lib/libopenbabel.so On the Postgres 8.3 system, I simply put libopenbabel.so into the /usr/local/pgsql/lib directory, and everything worked well. On 8.4, I can't seem to get it to load libopenbabel.so. Other programs that use this library have no trouble finding it. What (if anything) has changed from 8.3 to 8.4 regarding how it finds and links dynamic libraries? What else should I look for? I'm stumped on this one.
