You seem to have a problem with missing SSL in the link, but I don't see
why that should be; ecpg certainly tries to link to ssl. You'll need to
dig into it a little bit for yourself. You haven't provided enough
context to let anyone else reproduce the problem, even if they had AIX
which most of us don't --- for example, what configure arguments did you
use?

Well, *something* in your link is trying to pull in OpenSSL.

What exactly is in /client/lib ... could it be that there is an existing
SSL-dependent installation of libpq in there? In theory the link should
find the libpq in ../../../../src/interfaces/libpq not the one in
/client/lib, but we've seen bizarre linker search behavior before ...

Actually, not so bizarre as all that: looking at your command again, the
-L/client/lib is in there twice:

gcc -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Winline -Wendif-labels
-fno-strict-aliasing -L../../../../src/port -L/client/lib -Wl,-bnoentry
-Wl,-H512 -Wl,-bM:SRE -o libecpg.so libecpg.a -Wl,-bE:libecpg.exp
-L../pgtypeslib -L../../../../src/interfaces/libpq -L../../../../src/port
-L/client/lib -lpgtypes -lpq -lm

Assuming there is a libpq in /client/lib, I bet this patch will help.

The first time, i have posted all configure and make output. I received
a "message size too large" from the mailing list server. Unfortunately,
the www bug reporting form did not complain about message size, only the
mail server does later. The second time i have truncated the output to
the compiler errors.

Nothing relevant.

./configure --prefix=$HOME/software --with-includes=/client/include --with-libs=/client/lib
[...]
checking whether to build with OpenSSL support... no

Any hints where to investigate?

$ cd postgresql-8.1.0
$ patch -i ~/patch src/Makefile.shlib
$ ./configure --prefix=$HOME/software --with-includes=/client/include --with-libs=/client/lib
$ make
[...]
All of PostgreSQL successfully made. Ready to install.
$ make install
[...]
PostgreSQL installation complete.

Your patch works fine :-) Thanks!

$ cd /client/lib
$ ls -l *libpq*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root system 41 Nov 18 2004 libpq.a -> /sw/rs_aix52/postgresql-7.4.6/lib/libpq.a
