Here's my update:

Okay I have figured out how to make this work but it is kludge. I simply copy the libpq.so.2.0 library into /usr/lib (where the -o32 libraries reside for IRIX 6.5.4). For the -n32 version of postgres, I copy the libpq.so.2.0 (a
different one compiled for -n32) into /usr/lib32 (where the n-32 libraries reside for IRIX 6.5.4). For the 64 bit, do the same except it goes in /usr/lib64.

Note that for some reason I can't just link the libraries to those directories. They physically need to be copied into the directory in order to work.

What still doesn't make sense is why it is looking in the wrong places for the library. When I compile a C program for use with SQL, I specifically tell it where the include and library directories for Postgres are located:

cc -o32 test_sql_program.c -o TEST_SQL_PROGRAM -I/usr/local/pgsql_o32/include -L/usr/local/pgsql_o32/lib -lpq

It seems that this is the MIPSPro compilers fault and not Postgres'. But I thought that maybe someone else whos compiled the new Postgres on IRIX 6.5 has run into the same thing?

Thanks.
