I've found pg_config the best solution to determine where things are

pg_config is exactly what App::Info::RDBM::PostgreSQL uses to set up the library paths.

However, on that note, just "installing the darn module" may not be possible
without skipping the tests.

Up to now, DBD::Pg has pretty much just skipped the tests. I think that the tests need to be extensively rewritten to change that.

Other DBD::* modules require DBI_DSN, DBI_USER, DBI_PASS to run the
tests.  Without the correct setup installing from CPAN will fail.

Yes, I'd like to see DBD::Pg start to use a more standard and comprehensive test suite. Needless to say, I plan such a thing for the new version I'm working on. But that's going to be a while in the making...
