Hi,

I installed those packages:
postgresql-6.5.1-1.i386.rpm
postgresql-clients-6.5-1.beta1.i386.rpm
postgresql-devel-6.5.1-1.i386.rpm
postgresql-jdbc-6.5.1-1.i386.rpm
postgresql-odbc-6.5.1-1.i386.rpm
postgresql-perl-6.5.1-1.i386.rpm
postgresql-python-6.5.1-1.i386.rpm
postgresql-server-6.5.1-1.i386.rpm
postgresql-tcl-6.5.1-1.i386.rpm

I did this from the directory where those files are, as root:
rpm -qlp postgresql* | grep 'plpgsql'

There was not output. With a grep 'so' there is 53 lines of output, but
nothing that looks like the library I'm looking for
