If we'd seen more cases like this, I'd be wondering how to teach configure to look to see which version of libldap was in use by other libraries the postmaster needs. But this is the first such report that I can recall, so I'm inclined to think it might be a misconfigured library. (On my Linux box, for example, a fully-featured postmaster links only to libldap not libldap_r, which is the behavior we were expecting.) Did you identify what it was that was linked to libldap_r? regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
