Re: pltlc and pltlcu problems

Thanks tom but i think there's more to it

error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/postgresql/pltcl.so: undefined symbol: Tcl_CreateInterp

as you can see it knows where the library is - what i think it's 
complaining about is the undefined symbol

so i do a grep through the sources and find the call - the only call - 
but there's no function declaration in the sources

i did follow your link and i had read the page before - i'm on RedHat 
7.2 so should not have needed to do that - but i did anyway - it made no 
difference

is there meant to be Tcl_CreateInterp anywhere in the sources?
