Ok, then, use a binary built for FreeBSD 4.0 on OpenBSD 2.9. A _PostgreSQL_
binary.
If you want to build everything from source there are no library problems,
regardless of OS -- until you upgrade the OS.

Although, older binaries usually work fine after an upgrade of RedHat, thanks
to it keeping around older libs during an upgrade....
