[fdo-internals] PostgreSQL libpq.a library for Linux

[Trevor Wekel]

Hello,

Does anyone recall how Thirdparty/pgsql/lib/libpq.a was generated?  I am seeing a number of undefined symbol messages when running "ldd -r libPostGISProvider.so" with the FDO 3.5.0 RC1 build.

undefined symbol: PQclear       (./libPostGISProvider.so)
undefined symbol: PQresultStatus        (./libPostGISProvider.so)
undefined symbol: PQgetvalue    (./libPostGISProvider.so)
undefined symbol: PQclear       (./libPostGISProvider.so)
undefined symbol: PQresultErrorMessage  (./libPostGISProvider.so)
undefined symbol: PQexec        (./libPostGISProvider.so)

So I suspect there is something funky going on with libpq.a.  As a side note, the current version of libpq.a is smaller than its predecessor and much smaller than the "standard" libpq.a installed on CentOS 5.4 through "yum install postgresql-devel"
