Ifyou get output like this:

Ifpgaccess fails to start up, with an error message roughly like this:

<screen>

<computeroutput>

Error in startup script: couldn't load file "libpgtcl.so": libpgtcl.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

while executing

"loadlibpgtcl[info sharedlibextension]"

(procedure "main" line3)

"load${libpgtclpath}[info sharedlibextension]"

(procedure "main" line8)

invoked from within

"main $argc $argv"

(file "/usr/local/pgsql/share/pgaccess/main.tcl" line 249)

</computeroutput>

</screen>

then you need to configure your runtime linker to find the

<filename>libpgtcl.so</filename> library, most likely by setting

<filename>libpgtcl.so</filename> and <filename>libpq.so</filename>

libraries, most likely by setting

the <envar>LD_LIBRARY_PATH</envar> environment variable. Consult

the <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> installation instructions

for more information.
