RefDB chooses NOT to communicate with latest version of PostgreSQL

Hi Frank,

it would be very helpful to actually see the error messages. In fact,
I suspect the problem is more likely related to the libdbi driver
rather than to RefDB itself. In any case, please use the refdbd -l
(and maybe -e and -L) command line switches or the corresponding
variables in /usr/local/etc/refdb/refdbdrc (don't forget to restart or
reload the server in that case) to switch on debug level
logging. You'll find the documentation right here:

http://refdb.sourceforge.net/manual/re02.html

Now run any refdbc or refdba command which demonstrates the problem,
and send the refdbd log to the list.

You should also try to locate the PostgreSQL log output. I can't recall
where it goes to by default, but have a look at /var/log/messages for
a start.

As of the PostgreSQL versions compatible with RefDB (or libdbi, FWIW),
I can't give a definitive answer. I used to run some 8.x versions
successfully. I've upgraded my development box lately, it now has
PostgreSQL 9.03 installed. However, I never got round to test libdbi
or RefDB with that version. I'm heavily using a MySQL setup for some
production work that will take another few weeks. This means that I
have barely any time left to fiddle.

regards,
Markus
