Hi all!

I would like some suggestion on how to solve that:

postgres$ createdb postgres
/usr/local/postgresql-7.3.4/bin/psql: error while loading shared libraries:
libpq.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
createdb: database creation failed
postgres$
postgres$ uname -a
Linux PgServer.prodam 2.4.18-14 #1 Wed Sep 4 11:57:57 EDT 2002 i586 i586
i386 GNU/Linux

thanks a lot!

You probably need to add your library folder to /etc/ld.so.conf and then run
ldconfig.

Alternatively, you could symlink from /usr/local/lib to the library and do the
same for the binaries - that would mean you could skip the leading path when
running psql.

You can find the correct directory with:
find /usr/local -name 'libpg.so.3'

There should be something on this in the installation instructions. In any
case, googling for "ldconfig" should find you some help.
