Just a guess, but possibly because libpq.so (the postgres client library) is not being found. 1) Do you have libpq.so installed on your system? 2) If so, where? 3) If it is not in a standard system location (e.g. /usr/lib), try adding an entry either to /etc/ld.so.conf or a file with the appropriate entry in /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ and then run ldconfig HTH, Joe
