This is a symptom specific to HP-UX, which hardcodes the link-time library path into the output.

I don't have any matching preinstalled libraries anywhere and I verified with ldd that it seems to look in the expected places for both libraries, and indeed the tests pass for me, so I don't know what's going on. -- Peter Eisentraut http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
