[open-cobol-list] Open COBOL Build 426 Not Finding Modules

[Marty Heyman]

In empathy with message from Velt (below), I took Patrick’s advice and added 
/usr/local/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf and ran ldconfig … and get the same error. I 
am running cobc 2.1.0 on xUbuntu. The session fragment:

—— START ——
address@hidden:~/Projects/PlanBTest/mhWork$ make clean;make;./PGTest 
rm PGTest
cobc -I../copylib -L/usr/lib -lpq -std=mvs -x ../cobol_source/PGTest.cbl
Before connect:0x0000000000000000
libcob: Cannot find module 'PQconnectdb'
address@hidden:~/Projects/PlanBTest/mhWork$ 
——END ----

shows the behavior. I have the same problem on Fedora 12. lib cob appears to be 
found but does not seem to be able to find libpq. The code is Brian Tiffin’s 
example of accessing postgres directly through libpq (form the FAQ.

Hi Veit

Have you tried editing /etc/ld.so.conf and adding in /usr/local/lib, I 
usually have to do this. Don't forget to run ldconfig after.
