>Description:
After building postgresql-7.3.2 from pkgsrc I attempted to add
the plpgsql scripting language to the database using the command:
$ createlang plpgsql template1
ERROR: Load of file /usr/pkg/lib/postgresql/plpgsql.so failed: dlopen (/usr/pkg/lib/postgresql/plpgsql.so) not supported
createlang: language installation failed
Investigating this problem, I found that the dynaloader.c file (which
abstracts dlopen, etc., calls) contained blocks of "if defined(__mips__)"
that print the 'not supported' error and return a fault instead of
calling dlopen.
>How-To-Repeat:
Build postgresql and attempt to load the language as shown above.
Note that I am running a kernel with the following settings for
semaphores so that postgres will start:
options SEMMNI=2000 # number of semaphore identifiers
options SEMMNS=12000 # number of semaphores in system
options SEMUME=2000 # max number of undo entries per process
options SEMMNU=6000 # number of undo structures in system
>Fix:
I replaced these with "ifndef HAVE_DLOPEN" and rebuilt. The database
now loads languages and passes nearly all the provided regression
tests (which would not run before because they required the plpgsql
language).
