Subject: Missing Shared Libraries

I have finally got PostgreSQL running on a Red Hat Linux machine, mostly because of the help of some kind people on this mailing list.
Next question please. When I try and run /usr/local/pgsql/bin/psql or /usr/local/pgsql/bin/createdb test I get an error that says:
"error in loading shared libraries: libpq.so.2.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

The file is located at /usr/local/pgsql/lib/libpq.so.2.1 so I don't understand.
Any ideas?

The file is located at /usr/local/pgsql/lib/libpq.so.2.1 so I don't
underst= and.

The dynamic loader doesn't automagically search through the entire
filesystem for libraries. You need to tell it where your libraries are:
- add '/usr/local/pgsql/lib/' to '/etc/ld.so.conf'
- run 'ldconfig'.

HTH,
