This is not a dblink error per se, but rather a "dynamic library can't
be found" error. At a shell prompt, run the following:
pg_config --pkglibdir
That should output the $libdir path (e.g. /usr/local/pgsql/lib). Now go
look there for dblink.<dll-ext-for-yourOS> (e.g. dblink.so). If it isn't
there, do a "make clean" and show us the output of
make
make install
make installcheck
