Re: Linking

I've already cc'd PeterE. I suspect we want the -lpq build to have
-lsocket (at least on THIS (unixware) platform.

Well, all in all, adding -lsocket is just enough. I was trying to compile
/home/ed/t.c, which contains just PQconnectdb() and PQfinish().

$ cc t.c -o t -I/usr/local/pgsql/include -L/usr/local/pgsql/lib -lpq

The above fails with undefined symbols:

Undefined first referenced
symbol in file
inet_aton libpq.so
gethostbyname libpq.so
UX:ld: ERROR: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to t

Adding -lsocket will make it compile. I mean this is _probably_ not a big
deal, but feels abit inconsistent. After all, t.c itself calls nothing from
-lsocket
Of course, the final decision should be made by maintainers, but I can't
help feeling this issue needs to be put up, or at least registered in your
records.
I'll try building .so and let you know.

Thx

Ed
