That shows that psql *is* able to output to stderr, because it was able to print its own name. So we've been barking up the wrong tree with the permissions theories. What is actually happening, evidently, is that PQerrorMessage() is returning an empty string --- or perhaps a NULL pointer --- when it should not. So this leads to a different conclusion, which is that there's something broken about your libpq. I'd look at whether you're linking to the version you think you are, and try rebuilding libpq. (I seem to recall seeing a similar report once before, but I can't find it in the archives right now.) 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
