Perhaps the directory where it resides could be added to /etc/ld.so.conf (and run ldconfig after that), or put it in LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the postmaster's environment. Even better, install OSSP's libuuid using your distribution packages, which would likely put it in /usr/lib or another well-known place where you won't need any of these additional fixups. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ The PostgreSQL Company - Command Prompt, Inc. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
