Summary: psqlodbc driver won't connect when socket not in /tmp

Initial Comment:
Arch Linux recenty updated their PostgreSQL to move the socket directory from /tmp to /run/postgresql. The database and psql both run fine.

However, psqlodbc can no longer connect to the database.

PostgreSQL version 9.2.1

psqlodbc version 09.01.0200

error message returned when attempting to connect:

[08001][unixODBC]Could not connect to the server;
Could not connect to remote socket immedaitely
[ISQL]ERROR: Could not SQLConnect

If I tell the database to use /tmp (passing -o "-k /tmp" to pg_ctl) then odbc access works but psql access does not.

Message:
This is a crappy answer, but the driver was changed recently to always use libpq for connecting. So it should behave just the same as psql now...
