The dynamic linker can't find the PostgreSQL shared libraries. First
check that you've got them installed: there should be a symlink called
"libpq.so" in /usr/lib/, pointing, after following a trail of symlinks,
to libpq.so.2.1 . If that's not there you've probably not installed all
of the rpms you need - but I think that library is in the -server rpm,
so if you've got PostgreSQL installed at all then you've got it. If it
*is* there, then you need to run "ldconfig" (as root) so that your
dynamic linker can see it.
