You probably need to add your library folder to /etc/ld.so.conf and then run ldconfig. Alternatively, you could symlink from /usr/local/lib to the library and do the same for the binaries - that would mean you could skip the leading path when running psql. You can find the correct directory with: find /usr/local -name 'libpg.so.3' There should be something on this in the installation instructions. In any case, googling for "ldconfig" should find you some help. -- Richard Huxton Archonet Ltd ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
