libpq is the C programmer's interface to PostgreSQL server, and is
included with PostgreSQL. Do a "locate libpq" and see what version you
have. You might be able to get away with creating a symbolic link to one
of the libpq's you have. If not, you'll need to find an older version of
PostgreSQL or libpq or find a newer version of perl-DBD-Pg-0.91. Sometimes
you have to skirt the RPM.
