I've included header files in the distro in the $HOME/local/collects/sqlid/include directory. This works as long as I don't set the PLT_EXTENSION_LIB_PATHS environment variable. However, during the process of compiling linking has to be done against -L$HOME/local/lib. This doesn't work. No problem: export PLT_EXTENSION_LIB_PATHS=$HOME/local:$HOME/local/collects/sqlid This generates an error during compile, because only -I$HOME/local/include is added as compilation flag, where I'd expect -I$HOME/local/include -I$HOME/local/collects/sqlid/include What can I expect? best whishes, Hans Oesterholt </body> </html>
