Problem building DBD::Pg under OS X 10.11 (El Capitan)

[adamwizon]

When I go to make this module I get the following relative rpath error on the ‘make test’.  Running Perl 5.18, DBD::Pg 3.5.1 (cpan version).  libpq.5.dylib is in /Library/PostgreSQL/9.4/lib.

GINITDB="/Library/PostgreSQL/9.4/bin/initdb" PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/bin/perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e" "test_harness(0, 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch')" t/*.t

t/00_signature.t .... skipped: Set the environment variable TEST_SIGNATURE to enable this test

t/00basic.t ......... 1/3

Hi Adam,

The key line is here:

> # Reason: unsafe use of relative rpath libpq.5.dylib in /Users/mydir/Perl_Modules/DBD-Pg-3.5.1/blib/arch/auto/DBD/Pg/Pg.bundle with restricted binary at /System/Library/Perl/5.18/darwin-thread-multi-2level/DynaLoader.pm line 194.

This is a build issue with OS X’s version of libpq, so will need to be reported/fixed in upstream PostgreSQL before it will work with DBD::Pg. (This will also affect any other building of programs using the libpq library, not just DBD::Pg.)

Thanks,

David
