error compiling 7.3.2 on solaris 8- library conflict
Hi all,
I have a newly installed Solaris 8 Sparc. To install Postgresql 7.3.2, I
installed a variety of gnu tools, including gcc 3.2.2, make 3.8, and
readline 4.2. I installed the last after my first attempt at "configure"
said that it couldn't find it. Then, when I installed it and made certain
that the include and libpaths were part of the configure, it still refused
to find readline. In the configure.log file, it appears as if it does in
fact find readline but there is some sort of conflict:
configure:5837: gcc -o
conftest -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib -L/us
r/local/lib
conftest.c -lreadline -lrt -lresolv -lgen -lsocket -lnsl -ldl -lm >&5
ld: fatal: symbol `__dso_handle' is multiply-defined:

ld: fatal: symbol `_init' is multiply-defined:

ld: fatal: symbol `_fini' is multiply-defined:

ld: fatal: symbol `_lib_version' is multiply-defined:
(file /usr/ccs/lib/values-Xa.o and file
/usr/local/lib/libreadline.so);
ld: fatal: File processing errors. No output written to conftest
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
Can someone explain what has happened here? Is it a problem with the gcc
3.2.2 compiler? Should I be using the older 2.95 version (the other gcc
option I found on the gnu-sun freeware archive).
Thanks for any help!
Best regards,
Richard

Yeah, you seem to have a misbuilt libreadline.so. Did you build it
yourself, or install someone else's? If all else fails, rebuild it
as a non-shared library.
I have some recollection of a similar problem being discussed awhile
back... try searching the PG archives.

Tom Lane has pointed out that it's probably a version of readline that
was compiled with a different version of gcc.
If it's any help, the step by step "Packaging for Solaris" guide was
just updated with the version numbers used when compiling PostgreSQL for
Solaris:

Hope that helps.
