Re: libpq problem

Kris,

There are a variety of answers for a variety of operating systems.

On Linux add the PostgreSQL lib directory to /etc/ld.so.conf and run
"ldconfig" as root or add the lib directory to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH
environment variable. I prefer the 1st fix.

On Solaris 8 or later run as root "crle -u -l /path/to/pgsql/lib" which
is the same as the ldconfig option in Linux. Alternatively, use the
same LD_LIBRARY_PATH solution as above which, by the way, this will
work in HP-UX and AIX though using different environment variables
LIBPATH and SHLIB_PATH, respectively.
