That's fine. But it doesn't bring in libecpg.a and libpgtypes.a. The corresponding shared libraries (libecpg.so, libpgtypes.so) are stripped. So, in essence, the postgresql-devel package is useless and broken since there's no way to build an application that links against libecpg/libpgtypes. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Link a PostgreSQL client application with -lecpg 2. Observe failure Actual Results: Attempt to build a PostgreSQL client application by linking with -lecpg. The failure is: /usr/lib64/libpgtypes.so.3: could not read symbols: Invalid operation Expected Results: Success would be a successful link. Ideally, the shared libraries would not be stripped. If that's not possible, the static library must be included. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
