All,

I am trying to upgrade our current version of postgres 8.2.3 to 8.3.1.
I have installed 8.3.1 on the same machine as our 8.2.3 install and am
now trying to add the new install as a slave. When I run the slonik
commands, I get an error back saying that $libdir/xxid.so was not
found.

I did check in the 8.2.3 and 8.3.1 $libdir-s and while there is a
xxid.so file in the 8.2.3 $libdir, there isn't one in the 8.3.1; the
config options for both installs were kept the same.

I tried a google search already but could not find a work around for
the issue. http://linuxfinances.info/info/faq.html#AEN47452 recommends
only having one install of postgres, but that's not possible during an
upgrade.

Would just copying the lib file from one install to another work? I
assume that's likely to break things.
