RdbiPgSQL, OS X, and the location of libpq.5.dylib

That's my next step, but the one thing that I'd like to check  
beforehand relates to:
Has RdbiPgSQL hardcoded the path to libpq such that the library must  
be in that location?

My understanding of Unix-alike dynamic loading isn't the best, but  
looking at the error my impression is that even if I do add a new  
location to DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH that the hardcoded path will be the only  
one searched.  This might again be a MacOS question, but I'm wondering  
if anyone has been able to use a prebuilt RdbiPgSQL binary with  
Postgres in a non-standard location?

Thanks!

Jason

P.S.  The symnlink solution is working, but doesn't feel as elegant as  
I'd like... but I am able to get things done.  Big thanks to the  
RdbiPgSQL developers for allowing me to avoid using ODBC!
