I didn't answer before because I was inscribed as digest, so I just dropped that recently and subscribed again. That *.a file definitely did the trick, many thanks for that. I just explained what I did in the PostGIS mailing list also, perhaps someone else can find the solution there.

How can I solve that? Thanks for any hints, Gery PS: The full error message is here: probably my fault. Could you copy http://matzeri.altervista.org/works/postgres/libpostgres.a on /usr/lib and see if this solve the issue ?
