Hi

Not sure if this is the right list as it seems like a packaging issue with GDAL but here goes...

I am using gdal32 on fedora 33, but I've seen the problem before.

I am using the github repo pramsey/pgsql-ogr-fdw to build a command line utility
ogr_fdw_info which reads things like excel spreadsheets and generates foreign table definitions for them.

The problem I am having is that when this program ends it errors on:
free(): invalid pointer
Aborted (core dumped)

I've poked around but am struggling. I believe it is a problem with a destructor in proj but don't take my word for it.

After using ldd on ogr_fdw_info I can make the problem disappear by doing the following:

rm /lib64/libproj.so.15
ln -s /usr/proj72/lib/libproj.so.19 /lib64/libproj.so.15

Hi!

This looks like an issue in the packaging that Devrim is already
working on -- see https://redmine.postgresql.org/issues/5961

Hopefully there will be a fix soon.

RPMs are available in the same RPM repo, which actually does not have
this issue:

# ldd /usr/pgsql-13/lib/ogr_fdw.so | grep -i proj
libproj.so.19 => /usr/proj72/lib/libproj.so.19 (0x00007fe7df219000)

(Though I know that this package needs more attention from me
nowadays).

Any help gratefully received

As Magnus pointed out, I worked on this issue a lot in the last 2
weeks. First of all: Please do not remove that symlink. Removing OS-
supplied proj packages is sufficient (if you are building from source,
please also remove proj-devel package that comes from OS. I could not
find the exact cause why it still also links to the OS-supplied Proj,
but until them please remove OS Proj.

-HTH
