Note that PL/Python is currently not built automatically because the
|
|
|
|
|
code is new and there are some portability issues.

A default Python installation does not provide a shared libpython
|
|
|
|
|
library. This is not a problem on many platforms (although it makes
|
|
|
|
|
things less efficient), but on some platforms (especially HP-UX) the
|
|
|
|
|
link will fail outright.

Place the resulting library in the same directory as the existing
|
|
|
|
|
static libpythonX.Y.a and relink plpython.
