Uh ... what is the "pkgsrc build system", and what changes does it make
to a straight-from-source PG build?
Pkgsrc is the netbsd package management system(0), used by some folks
(like myself) on OS X to build all of our open source packages in the
same way as others use macports or fink. It's normally very good.
creating conversions ... ok
creating dictionaries ... FATAL: could not access file
"$libdir/libdict_snowball": No such file or directory
What you've apparently got here is a problem with shared-library
building, but it's odd that it would've got through the "creating
conversions" step, which also relies heavily on shared libraries.
Agreed... I'm going to drop a note on the pkgsrc lists since it is now
clear the problem lies there.
I find this pretty suspicious. On my OSX machine, the contents of the
pkglibdir directory are all named something.so:
dict_snowball.so* utf8_and_euc_jp.so*
And mine are also .so after doing a regular make build with the same
tarball (with the exception of those whose name starts with lib*). I
was under the impression that OS X used .dylib for shared libraries(1)
- look in /usr/lib for example.
Recommendation: get an unmodified copy of Postgres and build it
yourself. It works fine out-of-the-box on OS X.
Thank you for that it worked like a charm. I am also somewhat relieved
that the Makefile allows for 'make uninstall' so that some degree of
"package management" is possible.
Kind regards,
Jonathan Groll.
