 It's probably better to use PostgreSQL with the libraries it was built
 with.
 But you should take care that the PostgreSQL install doesn't interfere
 with the
 rest of the system.

 Your PostgreSQL install probably "infected" the system by adding a path to
 {{{/etc/ld.so.conf}}} or adding a file with a path to
 {{{/etc/ld.so.conf.d}}}
 Therefore libraries are also looked up in the PostgreSQL directory
 although the
 libraries there are incompatible with the rest of the system.

 Removing pathes should also cure the problem.  But you might find that
 PostgreSQL doesn't work anymore.   In that case you can probably setj
 those
 pathes in LD_LIBRARY_PATH in PostgreSQL startup script, so that only
 PostgreSQL
 uses it's own versions of libraries.

 Sure thing.  I'll close the bug.

 You're welcome.
