Re: could not access file "$libdir/plpgsql": No such file or directory

Thank you for the reply... after I removed the "--disable-shared" I do see the $libdir/plpgsql.so. But I do not see
any static libs, and "./configure" does not have an option to enable both static and shared..... so I guess it also
meansI cannot  
build postgress libs nor link my apps statically?

I don't know if I need whatever plpgsql is.... from what I read it is for supporting server-side sql, but I don't know
ifthat means  
I cannot use sql on the client side also?
