Summary: check_pgsql doesn't work with PostgreSQL 8 on RHEL 4

Initial Comment:
When trying to run check_pgsql on Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 4 with the PostgreSQL 8 RPMs from the PostgreSQL
website I get the following error:

[root at c9 ~]# /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_pgsql
/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_pgsql: error while
loading shared libraries: libpq.so.3: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory

The reason is that the PostgreSQL RPMs for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 4 contain the following libraries:

/usr/lib/libpq.so.4
/usr/lib/libpq.so.4.0

hi there,

i'm going to close this bug because it has little to do with our
software and more to do with how it is being compiled and
distributed by third parties over whom we have no control.

i will provide a couple suggestions though:
- contact dag wieers and ask him to recompile the plugins
against postgres 8
- recompile the plugins yourself, using either dag's source
rpm or the source code provided by us.

Hi,

For the nagios plugins, I'm using the binarie RPMs from

http://dag.wieers.com/packages/nagios-plugins/nagios-plugins-1.4-2.2.el4.rf.i386.rpm

which are also for RHEL 4

Hi,

I'm using the precompiles binaries provided by PostgreSQL on
their web site

http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/binary/v8.0.3/linux/rpms/redhat/rhel-es-4/

hi,

are you using precompiled binaries from an rpm or something?

the reason you're getting this problem is because the
check_pgsql
plugin was compiled against postgres 7 (soname = 3) but you're
running postgres 8 (soname = 4).
