[ shrug... ] It's not at all hard to think of scenarios where that will give you misleading results, even granted that you're willing to fall over when pg_config isn't present. But regardless of that, the technique simply isn't available to ordinary C code using the standard dynamic linker. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
