You need to run ldconfig to tell the system where to find it. (Read the
man page for detailed instructions.)

Alternatively, make sure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH includes /usr/local/pgsql/lib,
and is exported in your environment.

"I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto
me, and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of an
horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet
upon a rock, and established my goings. And he hath
put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God.
Many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the
LORD." Psalms 40:1-3
