[Gambas-user] Cannot find driver for database: postgresql

[Karl Martindale]

Hi All,

	Thanks for pointing out strace Benoit, I'd never used it before but the results 
it produces are very interesting. I thought there might be a problem in the 
driver because it appeared the driver file gb.db.postgresql.so was being located 
successfully:

... cut ....
access("/usr/local/lib/gambas2/gb.db.postgresql.so", F_OK) = 0
access("/usr/local/lib/gambas2/gb.db.postgresql.gambas", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No 
such file or directory)
access("/usr/local/lib/gambas2/gb.db.postgresql.so", F_OK) = 0
open("/usr/local/lib/gambas2/gb.db.postgresql.so", O_RDONLY) = 7
read(7, "\177ELF\1\1\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\3\0\3\0\1\0\0\0`\16\0\000"..., 1024) =
... cut ....


What I failed to notice was the fact that another file was being looked for and 
not found a few lines down:

... cut ....
open("/lib/libpq.so.3", O_RDONLY)       = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/usr/lib/libpq.so.3", O_RDONLY)   = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
... cut ....

So one symbolic link later:
ln -s /usr/local/pgsql/lib/libpq.so.3 /usr/lib/libpq.so.3
and the driver loads successfully.

Thanks for reading,

Karl.
