On NetBSD, had to add -Wl, -R/usr/local/postgres/lib to the src/Makefile.global LIB variable
Priority: probably low.
Background:
uname -a:
NetBSD scotts 1.5 NetBSD 1.5 (GENERIC) #1: Sun Nov 19 21:42:11 MET 2000
fvdl@sushi:/work/trees/netbsd-1-5/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC i386
Postgresql version: 7.0.3
To configure I did a `./configure --prefix=/usr/local/postgres'.
This is straight "out-of-the-box", so I didn't apply any of the
NetBSD pkgsrc patches.
My problem & fix:
I had to add -Wl,-R/usr/local/postgres/lib to the
src/Makefile.global LIB variable. Otherwise, doing a
'ldd /usr/local/postgres/bin/psql' after installation
reported that it couldn't find libpg (`-lpq.2 => Not Found'
or something like that).
Remarks:
There's almost certainly a better way, since src/Makefile.global is
automatically generated, but I'm still getting acclimated to NetBSD
and Postgres build.

In the past we have suggested to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable
appropriately. Version 7.1 fixes this by using the option you mention.
