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.

I have written a variation of one of the libpq C functions provided with postgres. It compiles just fine, but when I try to execute the program it reports the following error:
./a.out: error while loading shared libraries: libpq.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I have checked my system and the libpq.so.3 exists and all of its dependancies are linked. Just curious if anyone has any ideas. Thanks
