guile-pg-0.07ttn6 libpostgres.so: undefined symbol

guile-pg-0.07ttn6 libpostgres.so: undefined symbol

[Stan Pinte]

hello,

I freshly compiled and installed guile-pg-0.07ttn6.

After having removed the #include <c.h> statement from libpostgres.c, I install.

then, when running a guile script that uses libpostgres, I get the following:

/usr/local/share/guile/database/postgres.scm:42:9: In procedure dynamic-link in expression (dynamic-link (car #)):
/usr/local/share/guile/database/postgres.scm:42:9: file: "/usr/local/lib/guile-pg/0.07ttn6/libpostgres.so", message: "/usr/local/lib/guile-pg/0.07ttn6/libpostgres.so: undefined symbol: terminating"


has any one any idea on:

-why it does so?
-how I can track the exact symbol missing?

thanks a lot,

NB: I am using guile-core-20021122

Stan.

   -why it does so?

the var `terminating' enables run-time selection of glue code failure
behavior (on lob_flush -- see libpostgres_lo.c:288).

   -how I can track the exact symbol missing?

because it is missing the only reliable way to do this is to ask the
author (after grepping the source a bit).  for now throwing scm_syserror
is preferable to writing directly to fd 2 as in the other branch of the
conditional.  please see:

	http://www.glug.org/alt/

for guile-pg-0.07ttn7.tar.gz as well as a (much smaller) .diff to update
0.07ttn6 to 0.07ttn7, wherein that var is declared static, initialized
to 0 (effect is to unconditionally throw scm_syserror), and derisively
implicated for early retirement...
