londiste3 create-root failed with "could not access file "$libdir/pgq_lowlevel""

[shuwnyuantee]

I have installed skytools3, to test replication with Postgres 9.3. Here's my server environment & related packages version:

server: debian 7.6 postgres: postgresql-9.3 9.3.5-1.pgdg70+1, postgresql-contrib-9.3, postgresql-plperl-9.3 skytools: skytools3 3.1.5-1.pgdg70+1 (from repo: http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/) python: - python-minimal 2.7.3-4+deb7u1 - python-pgq3 3.1.5-1.pgdg70+1 - python-psycopg2 2.4.5-1 - python-skytools3 3.1.5-1.pgdg70+1 - python2.7 2.7.3-6+deb7u2 - python2.7-minimal 2.7.3-6+deb7u2

By following londiste3 tutorial, it failed at "londiste3 .... create-root ..." with this error:

Is there any version incompatibility issue for the packages I installed? Does skytools3.1.5 supported Postgres 9.3? Appreciate if you can advice how to proceed here. Thanks!

Hi

Im also facing this issue...

[jtjeferreira]

I installed skytools-modules and it fixed the issue

[shuwnyuantee]

hi, I got it fixed too, the replication is working like charm for me now, thanks :)

Hi, Installed Packages skytools-94.x86_64
skytools-94-debuginfo.x86_64 skytools-94-modules.x86_64

but the error is still there. I run from a user postgres:

if you run of root:

@pbobrovnikov Probably my answer is too late. Did u try install skytools-modules as mentioned above? After so long, I actually forgot how I got it fixed. But try this as suggested by @jtjeferreira

[ckbhodge]

I had to do this command, which reinstalled it: sudo apt-get install --reinstall skytools-modules-9.3

[booleanbetrayal]

Just to chime in, I received this because I actually had two instances of Postgres installed: through a standalone installer (postgres.app) and the other as a behind-the-scenes brew dependency. pg_config path was being determined by the latter, and that was causing all sorts of confusion. After removing the unintentional brew installation, and doing a full make clean; ./configure; make; sudo make install things worked as expected.

[paulovieira]

I also had this error using skytools3 with postgres 9.5. The missing package was not skytools-modules (or any of it's variants). It was postgresql-9.5-pgq3 (which seems to be the replacement for skytools-modules for pg 9.5 and future releases). I'm using ubuntu with the official PGDG repository.

So, sudo apt-get install postgresql-9.5-pgq3 should solve the problem for pg 9.5.

Or more exactly, all these packages should be installed to have skytools working properly:

sudo apt-get install skytools3 skytools3-ticker skytools3-walmgr postgresql-9.5-pgq3

[wangyueming]

I had the same error. I replicated from PG9.5 on ubuntu14.04 to PG9.1 on another ubuntu12.04. I set up the skytools3 on ubuntu14.04. I tried installing all the packages above on ubuntu14.04 without success. In the end I fixed this issue by executing command below on ubuntu12.04.

sudo apt-get install skytools-modules-9.1

Just in case someone is interested, on RedHat systems it's not possible to test londiste replication with multiple instances of different version on the same node. Basically because you'll need the modules package for both and that would create a conflict. This is because, for example, skytools-92 and skytools-96 will use the same path for the files and so rpm will see a conflict and not install both packages.
