* libpq.so.3 not found

Hi,all
I am working on solaris platform.
When I try to create an executable file using gcc -o -L -lpq, it gives me
an error message:
ld.so.1: file_name: fatal: libpq.so.3: open failed: No such file or
directory
But I give the full path of lib files in -L option. And libpq.so.3 is
right there.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks a lot.
Xinyu

Dynamic linker error messages are notoriously unhelpful :-(. I'll bet
it's really complaining about not being able to find some library that
libpq.so depends on. You should be able to use ldd (or local equivalent)
to inspect the list of libraries that libpq.so needs, and from there
figure out what the problem is.
regards, tom lane

Tom, I think all the libraries that libpq.so needs are right there. Please
see the following:
libresolv.so.2 => /usr/lib/libresolv.so.2
libsocket.so.1 => /usr/lib/libsocket.so.1
libnsl.so.1 => /usr/lib/libnsl.so.1
libgcc_s.so.1 => /usr/local/lib/libgcc_s.so.1
libc.so.1 => /usr/lib/libc.so.1
libdl.so.1 => /usr/lib/libdl.so.1
libmp.so.2 => /usr/lib/libmp.so.2
/usr/platform/SUNW,Ultra-5_10/lib/libc_psr.so.1
sundance 50> ls /usr/lib/libsocket.so.1
/usr/lib/libsocket.so.1*
sundance 51> ls /usr/lib/libnsl.so.1
/usr/lib/libnsl.so.1*
sundance 52> ls /usr/local/lib/libgcc_s.so.1
/usr/local/lib/libgcc_s.so.1
sundance 53> ls /usr/lib/libc.so.1
/usr/lib/libc.so.1*
sundance 54> ls /usr/lib/libdl.so.1
/usr/lib/libdl.so.1*
sundance 55> ls /usr/lib/libmp.so.2
/usr/lib/libmp.so.2*
sundance 56> ls /usr/platform/SUNW,Ultra-5_10/lib/libc_psr.so.1
/usr/platform/SUNW,Ultra-5_10/lib/libc_psr.so.1@
So what else could be wrong?
Thank you very much.

Almost certainly, the problem is that /usr/local/lib/ isn't getting
searched and so libgcc_s.so isn't found. This sort of problem is easily
hit because different bits of code have different ideas about where to
search for shared libraries. I think ldd pays attention to
LD_LIBRARY_PATH, but gcc only pays attention to -L switches.

Tom, how can i fix that? I specified -L/usr/local/lib, but it does not
work. Thank you so much.

In that case I'm out of ideas :-(. Anyone else care to take a swing?

Try adding the -v switch to gcc just to verify that the commands look
sensible. Isn't there also something that makes the indiviudal stages like ld
more verbose?
Could it be that in the linking stage it's picking up the wrong ld and that's
somehow not looking in the same locations?

I'm game - I hit a similar problem on my old Sparc box last night (not related
to libpq specifically). I did this:
$ uname -a
SunOS sparc4 5.6 Generic_105181-05 sun4m sparc SUNW,SPARCstation-4
$ gcc -lpthread test.c # this is Bruce's thread test app
Undefined first referenced
symbol in file
gethostbyname /var/tmp/cc31rpyq.o
ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to a.out
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
$ gcc -lpthread -lnsl test.c # this works
libnsl contains the gethostbyname function... why on earth I had to tell the
linker to actually link against it, I do not know, especially since I didn't
need to tell it -L/usr/lib to locate the .so... maybe if you're still stuck,
try telling it to link against absolutely everything.
Regards, Philip.
