Re: Fwd: Using CLSQL and Postgresql on Mac OS X

Doesn't seem like it thus far. But, as a non Max user, I'll try. The
last time I tested CLSQL with OS X was last summer when CLSQL 3.0 was
released. At that time, I had to fiddle with fink and generating the
proper shared libraries. Since that time, there's been a few messages
and one patch to CLSQL about the generation of shared libraries on OS
X.

As you've likely seen, Edi Weitz contributed a patch that removes the
directory component of shared library names. That takes advantage of a
rather underdocumented feature of most lisp implementions to search
for a shared library in some set of implementation/OS-dependent
directories.


Assuming that you have the proper shared library 'somewhere' on your
system and you know the pathname location, you can use the latest
CLSQL to search for those locations by adding them to a site-wide
configuration file /etc/clsql-init.lisp. Here's mine for Debian:

kevin@tiger:~> cat /etc/clsql-init.lisp
(clsql:push-library-path #p"/usr/lib/")
(clsql:push-library-path #p"/usr/lib/clsql/")

I hope that helps, Bill.
