Hi Jens,

As you suggested, it looks like the linker cannot find libpq. What configure
command did you use when you compiled PostgreSQL? It may be that you need to
add the directory where libpq.so was installed into your /etc/ld.so.conf
file and then run ldconfig so that the system can find it.


Kind regards,

Mark.
