High Jim this is Harry from Hamburg(Germany)

I work with Kylix3 on SuSE8.1 and SuSE8.2 with PostgreSQL 7.4(bison-1.85 must be installed).
On SuSE8.1(Kernel 2.4.19), postmaster ist running, it works fine.On SuSE8.2(Kernel 2.4.21) i have the same probleme too.

I think it is a probleme with $LD_LIBRARY_PATH or the libsqlpg.so itself. I am searching for a differenz between the
installation of LINUX.

If you knew a work a round, please tell me.

Thanks
Harry

Kylix 3 does not support newer versions of PosgreSQL which are using 
the libpq.so.3.0 client library. You may try to make Kylix 3 work with 
   PosgreSQL 7.3  by creating two additional symlinks libpq.so.3  <- 
libpq.so.2  <- libpq.so ;

WRONG Kylix 3 Pro does support newer versions of Postgres. I'm using Fedora
and Postgres 7.4.?
and all is working fine with dbExpress. It took a bit of work to get all of
the links set but other than that no problems. You need to dig deep to find
all of the missing links.

so, how's going with pgsql 7.4 , is there any reason to switch from 7.3.4 to
7.4 ?
tnx

I wish that this would be true! So how is OID and BLOB working for 
you? ;-)

No reason to upgrade that I have found, I did it because the customer I'm
installing this on is running 7.4 and the new Fedora.
The Blob fields still cause a problem and crash the system if I use them.
I'm using OID fields instead to store large objects and that is working
fine. My project didn't require large text fields so I have no reason to use
the Blobs.

You'd better use the Zeoslib package which works better than Borland's 
dbExpress. Got to http://www.zeoslib.net and grab the package. It is 
compatible with all delphi and kylix versions.

To be able to use the runtime packages (dcu files), before compiling, 
include all directories under src, and also kylix3/build in the libs 
directories in Kylix. Then you'll be able to compile a program with the 
design packages (not the runtime packages).

Good luck
