Seems like I've been here before; now I'm enjoying it with upgraded versions of everything. Under OS X.3.5, have compiled and built Ruby 1.8.1 and PostgreSQL 7.4.5, and both are working fine. Based on previous experience, executed ranlib against pgsql library archive libpq.a before attempting to compile ruby-postgres extension. Appeared to have success with extconf.rb, make, and install of ruby-postgres, which all ran without error or complaint. Any attempt to run Ruby code with `require "postgres"` however, returns error "dyld: ruby Undefined symbols:" and complete list of all symbols in libpq. Any suggestions or reports from anybody who got this working in similar environment much appreciated. Thanks, Thomas Yager-Madden http://syntactician.com
