Diagnosistics
+
+ If you get output like this:
+
+
+Error in startup script: couldn't load file "libpgtcl.so": libpgtcl.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
+ while executing
+"load libpgtcl[info sharedlibextension]"
+ (procedure "main" line 3)
+ invoked from within
+"main $argc $argv"
+ (file "/usr/local/pgsql/share/pgaccess/main.tcl" line 249)
+
+
+ then you need to configure your runtime linker to find the
+ libpgtcl.so library, most likely by setting
+ the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable. Consult
+ the
PostgreSQL installation instructions
+ for more information.

Notes
+
+
pgaccess is written in Tcl/Tk. Your
+
PostgreSQL installation needs to be
+ build with Tcl support for
pgaccess to
+ be available.
