[PORTS] contrib - fuzzystrmatch installation issue

Hi everyone,

I am running Postgres 8.3.3 on a CentOS box and I had a few issues when trying to install the fuzzystrmatch library. The library seemed to compile and make install correctly, but when I ran the sql scripts to add the functions to a database, I came up with this issue:

# psql -d template1 -U postgres -f fuzzystrmatch.sql
SET
CREATE FUNCTION
CREATE FUNCTION
CREATE FUNCTION
CREATE FUNCTION
psql:fuzzystrmatch.sql:24: ERROR:  could not find function "difference" in file "/usr/lib/pgsql/fuzzystrmatch.so"
psql:fuzzystrmatch.sql:28: ERROR:  could not find function "dmetaphone" in file "/usr/lib/pgsql/fuzzystrmatch.so"
psql:fuzzystrmatch.sql:32: ERROR:  could not find function "dmetaphone_alt" in file "/usr/lib/pgsql/fuzzystrmatch.so"

Apparently, these three functions did not compile into the module. I'm not much of a C/C++ programmer, but according to the Makefile, both object files were included in the resulting fuzzystrmatch shared object, and the three functions in question where definitely present in fuzzystrmatch.c to begin with.

The following is a list of symbols inside the shared object:

The compiler didn't return any errors during the build process, leaving me clueless as to why it's not working correctly. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
