The reference to /etc/init.d/postgresql was taken from the posting you pointed me to - I was just trying to determine what part, if any, of that posting was relevant to my problem.
Running configure with "--without-rpath" seems to have fixed the problem.

You're not running pgsql as root, are you? Or you're saying pgsql is being run under your user i.d.? Either way: I think the answer to your question is "Yes." Anyway, you were talking about initdb, not postmaster startup at boot. If you're setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH and there's not a permissions problem, that should be sufficient.
