[postgis-users] 0.7.4 compiling problem

[Paul Ramsey]

The linking command in the loader attempts to link against the libpq we 
expect to find in the pgsql source tree.  That library is only there if 
you have build PgSQL, and not done a 'make clean' afterwards.  Go into 
your pgsql direction and run make, then go back to postgis and run make.
