It is called libpgtcl and the source is located in the PostgreSQL directory /src/interfaces/libpgtcl. Specifically, you will need a libpgtcl library that is 'load'-able from Tcl/Tk. This is technically different from an ordinary PostgreSQL loadable object file, because libpgtcl is a collection of object files. Under Linux, this is called libpgtcl.so. <p> One of the solutions is to remove from the source the line containing <b>load libpgtcl.so </b>and to load pgaccess.tcl not with wish, but with pgwish (or wishpg) that wish that was linked with libpgtcl library! I do not recommend this one. <p> If you have installed RedHat 5.x, you should get the last distribution kit of PostgreSQL and compile it from scratch. RedHat 5.x is using some new versions of libraries and you have to compile and install again at least <b>libpq </b>and <b><tt>libpgtcl </tt></b>libraries. <p> PostgreSQL 6.4 release has a minor bug. I does not include by default the crypt lib when compiling libpgtcl. So, you will need to manually add a -lcrypt to SHLIB line in Makefile in src/interfaces/libpgtcl and then make clean and make again. The new libpgtcl.so library is properly configured to run pgaccess. <br> </body> </html>
