Hi.

I've been able to compile postgresql on solaris 10.
Now I want to install the perl DBD::Pg module but I get a complaint, namely:
    

[root@tickettest] # make
rm -f blib/arch/auto/DBD/Pg/Pg.so
LD_RUN_PATH="/usr/local/pgsql/lib" /opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc  -G 
-xarch=generic64 -L/opt/SUNWspro/prod/lib/amd64 -L/lib/amd64 
    

         ^^^^^^^^^                          ^^^^^
  

-L/usr/local/lib Pg.o dbdimp.o quote.o types.o  -o 
blib/arch/auto/DBD/Pg/Pg.so         \
  -L/usr/local/pgsql/lib -lpq          \

ld: fatal: file /usr/local/pgsql/lib/libpq.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32
    

                                                                  ^^^^^^^^^^
  

ld: fatal: File processing errors. No output written to 
blib/arch/auto/DBD/Pg/Pg.so
    

At a guess, libpq is compiled as 32 bit and you're compile DBD::Pg as 64
bit.

Find out how perl is compiled and make sure you've compiled libpq and
DBD::Pg the same. The server can be either, that's independant of this.
  

Does this mean libpq is part of the perl install?

Since libpq is under /usr/local/pgsql/lib/ doesn't that mean that it's part of the postgresql install? Isn't then the postgres install 32 bit and should be 64 bit?

I'm sure the perl install is 64 bit. I didn't compile and install it myself.
Is there a way to check?

Thanks 4ur help.

Kind regards.
