Somehow DBD::Pg picked up the wrong (older) version of libpq.so; you need to look into why. Wrong search path while building maybe?
Tom, I _thought_ that might be what happened, but I wanted to make sure before I dug myself into a hole. You are absolutely correct. I'll bet it looked first at /usr/local/lib and found the really old versions of libpq.so. I had cleaned those out, but after making and installing Pg.so. I looked through the DBD::Pg source files and the paths looked OK to my naive eyes. So I just re-ran the 'perl Makefile.PL, make, make test, and make install' series. All tests passed, and SQL-Ledger now comes up. Whew!! I'll bet those old libraries were left over from Red Hat 7.3; it was in September of 2003 that I migrated to Slackware. You have my sincere thanks for clearing up a mess that occupied me since yesterday afternoon. Rich -- Richard B.
