[Haskell-cafe] Fwd: Trouble using HDBC-postgres on Windows - can't find libpq.dll

Well, I answered my own question. Unlike UNIX, specifying a library without the leading "lib" causes the library to not be found. Not sure if that's a GHC linking problem or what. Changing the library requirement to "libpq" in the .cabal file did the trick tho.

However, when I try to run the tests I get this error:

runghc -package HDBC-postgresql runtests.hs ghc.exe: can't load .so/.DLL for: pq (addDLL: unknown error)

libpq.dll is in my path, and I added the correct paths to the .cabal file when I built it. Does anyone have an idea what might be the problem? Justin p.s. I have postgres 8.2 installed if that matters.
