Compile and install PostgreSQL 7.3.1

ldconfig -m /usr/local/pgsql/lib (or whatever)
(If you're on FreeBSD. If not, look up the right command for your OS)

compile and install PHP :-)

If the older lib is getting in your way - remove it..

having to recompile everything that linked to libpq.

Good luck!
