Greetings,
Well, you should take the time to find the lists on www.postgresql.org
as I don't represent the PostgreSQL project in any way and can't offer
the same level of support as the lists...
Having said that,
Try diddling the ld lib path environmental variable to include
/usr/local/pgsql/lib, IIRC it's called LDPATH. Just append that dir
to it...
