Hi,

Attached you'll find a (big) patch that fixes make dep and make
depend in all Makefiles where I found it to be appropriate.

It also removes the dependency in Makefile.global for NAMEDATALEN
and OIDNAMELEN by making backend/catalog/genbki.sh and bin/initdb/initdb.sh
a little smarter.

This no longer requires initdb.sh that is turned into initdb with
a sed script when installing Postgres, hence initdb.sh should be
renamed to initdb (after the patch has been applied :-) )

This patch is against the 6.3 sources, as it took a while to
complete.

Please review and apply,

Cheers,

  can compile the version 6.3 .  I use this prefix , when configure

Here are 3 patches (all relative to the src directory) to help with
the configuration of v6.3.1.  I have replaced the queries for
include/lib directories with --with configuration options.  I have
also included a list of potential tcl/tk include directories directly
in the CPPFLAGS variable.  As new versions are needed, these should
be added to the list in reverse numerical order (libraries are in
a separate list near the end).  This greatly simplifies the later
checks if --with-tcl is set.  I hope this solution works for
everyone.

I also added a check to disable the perl support if postgres was
not already installed (as per the instructions in the directory).
By the way, why must there be an installed pgsql to compile perl
support? This seems odd, at best.

Finally, I changed the Makefile in the libpgtcl interface to place
the shared libraries at the end of the list of files, not at the
beginning.  With NetBSD at least, libraries are linked in order,
so the original sequence does not work.

to main.c are only to add some extra includes to support some code

There is an error in the configure script when using
--with-pgport= that will cause the compiled version of
PostgreSQL to no longer allow connections to the
new port and to treat shared memory improperly.

What happens is that if the port is changed, the configure
script defines DEF_PGPORT as "", which atoi() will return
as 0, which makes the IPC_KEY value 0. This then causes
semaphores to be allocated, but never released. Postgres
eventually returns from semget() with
"no space left on device". The source of this error could
easily be overlooked in version 6.3 since it is possible
to connect via UNIX domain sockets, and having DEF_PGPORT
defined as "0" would not be noticed until TCP was used.

in the next release.

See the update to the README file to get a full description of the changes.
This version of libpgtcl is completely interpreter-safe, implements the
database connection handle as a channel (no events yet, but will make it
a lot easier to do fileevents on it in the future), and supports the SQL
"copy table to stdout" and "copy table from stdin" commands, with the
I/O being from and to the connection handle.  The connection and result
handles are formatted in a way to make access to the tables more efficient.
