Hi,

admitting that windows is quite alien to me...
I have installed a postgresql server on linux and now want to allow windows clients access through a tcl gui.
Activestate tcl is installed, and when I try to
package require tdbc::postgresql
I get a complaint about libpq.dll.5 missing. The postgres install kit contains just a libpq.dll, and renaming it
does not seem to help

Best regards
Wolfgang Hamann

While I have no idea what is "libpq.dll.5", but have you tryed to make
a symbolic link "libpq.dll.5" to "libpq.dll" with "mklink" command to
workaround?

Hi, I am not at the machine right now; it is some Tcl8.6 (installed during last year)

package require tdbc::postgresql

Where is tdbc::postgresql coming from?

this is available as part of activestate (not sure whether it is called tdbc:postgres or tdbc:postgresql)

I downloaded the file from https://www.postgresql.org/download/windows/
and extracted the dll file
