If you put shared libraries in a non-standard location (i.e. anywhere
other than /lib and /usr/lib), you have to tell the loader. E.g.:

	LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/pgsql/lib
	export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Or, if LD_LIBRAY_PATH is already defined:

	LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/pgsql/lib
	export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Or add /usr/local/pgsql/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf then run "ldconfig".

The ld.so(8) man page might have useful information (or it might just
be hopelessly out of date; any references to a.out are ancient
history).
