Right, good idea, but I tried that and the only two copies on the system are the Slony 1.2.13 source, and the installed version in /usr/local/pgsql.

$ find / -name xxid.so 2>/dev/null
/usr/local/pgsql/lib/xxid.so
/emi/src/external/slony1-1.2.13/src/xxid/xxid.so

$ find / -name slony1_funcs.so 2>/dev/null
/usr/local/pgsql/lib/slony1_funcs.so
/emi/src/external/slony1-1.2.13/src/backend/slony1_funcs.so

I guess I have to keep going back to what I started with: Version 1.2.9 is NOT, and has never been, on this system.  The error is in the 1.2.13 source distribution, as far as I can tell.  It's compiled fresh, there is no other Slony, and when I remove everything and start over, the same error happens.

Where could this be in the source?  Is there some configuration file?

Thanks,
