any linux experts around
 

getting a database error on a debian linux server setup..

"error while loading shared libraries:lib.pq.so"

anyone know the problem :helpme

lib.pq.so is a postgresql library i believe. When are you getting the error?

Is this the first setup of the MySQL server? It sounds to me (although I should say I am not a Linux expert) like you've custom-compiled the MySQL application and are missing the dependancy which lib.pq.so is a part of, which at a guess, would be that you've compiled it with postegreSQL support but not installed the necessary dependency.

Try disabling postgresql when choosing packages.

:)

Try:
apt-get install postgresql-libs

found the problem. there is a c++ library by the name of libstdc++.so.5

i don`t have it on my system. I have libstdc++.so.6 which is another version

ok that fixed that

now i got a new error =o\

server version 0.5d initializing...
Warning: not going daemon due to the -nd or -generate switch

Connecting to the database...

Is the server running on host "127.0.0.1" and accepting
TCP/IP connections on port 5432?
!!!

Seems like you've configured it to use ports instead of sockets, so make sure that you haven't got a firewall like iptables running and preventing TCP/UDP connections to port 5432, or configure MySQL to use sockets instead and save yourself some hassle.
