Well, all the files were good. It was as it should be. It is strange.

But the good news is that I have found one solution :

I have rename libpq.so.2.1 to libpq.so.2.1.good
Then, I have deleted the 2 old symbolic links and created 3 (yes 3!!) new
ones.
libpq.so -> libpq.so.2.1.good
libpq.so.2 -> libpq.so.2.1.good

and the most important one (for my problem) : libpq.so.2.1 ->
libpq.so.2.1.good

I have typed ldconfig and everything works well!!

Strange isn't it ?
