You must recompile libpq.so against all the libraries that contain all
the symbols that are missing. To find which library contain which symbol
you could do something like strings -f <symbol> /usr/lib/* (and all
other directories where are libraries).

Then, you should add -l<library> for each library found to the compilation 
command, and compile the library again.
