Hello All,

As part of a migration process from Postgres 8.1 to 9.3 I'm trying to compile Slony 1.2.23 for Postgres 9.3.4 on an Ubuntu 14.04 box.

The development package has been installed:
	postgresql-server-dev-9.3

The configure command runs OK:
	./configure --with-pgsharedir='/usr/share/postgresql

But when I run make, it breaks and complaints it can't find a library called pstrdup. This is the output of the make command:

gcc -g -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -I../.. -DPGSHARE="\"/usr/share/postgresql\"" -DPG_VERSION_MAJOR=9 slonik.o dbutil.o parser.o  ../parsestatements/scanner.o -L/usr/lib/ -L/usr/lib/postgresql/9.3/lib/ -lpq  -Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib/ -lpgport  -o slonik
/usr/lib//libpgport.a(wait_error.o): In function `wait_result_to_str':
(.text+0x110): undefined reference to `pstrdup'


It looks like this problem is referred to on a bug report from May 2013, and it's due to the fact that Postgres 9.3 introduced a new library, libpgcommon. I've tried to link this library by adding the following line at the end of config/acx_libpq.m4 :
	LIBS="$LIBS -lpgcommon"

But the result is the same.

Did you find this problem before? How did you solve it?


Thanks
