The question is what's pulling in libbsd though. In the previous report it came via libedit, which you're not using. I'd try looking in the config.log file to see what it was linking in the test that decided setproctitle was available, and then using ldd on each of those libraries to see which one(s) require libbsd. 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
