Hello!

Last night I was playing around with some of the postgres demos
in order to find out some things which are very interesting 
for me.

Starting with circle.c I added further (graphical) functionality
to the output routine.
This made it necessary to link circle.o with a graphical lib.

And this is the point where I failed.

Using the load-command postgres either complains too few symbols,
when I have not linked circle.o with my lib;
or it complains about multiple defined symbols.

The problem I think is that some libs use symbols already used 
with postgres; in my case e.g. 'circf' and others.

So, do you think there is a possibility to use an arbitrary lib
together with postgres?
Is the a possibility e.g. to link circle.o in a way, that internal 
references are covered but only important symbols (circle_out) show
in the symboltable (some kind of a soft strip)?

I tried these things with postgres 4.2 on a linux system, but the
will arise anywhere, I think.


Thanks for any help,

- Joerg
