What are you checking exactly? If it's not the output of "env" then
I would say you are looking at the wrong thing. Possibly you're looking
at a profile file that neglects to "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH", or some such.

This is clearly picking up an incompatible version of libpq.so
(specifically, psql was built with SSL support but libpq.so wasn't).
I'd suggest trying "which psql" and "ldd" on the psql executable
to figure out exactly what's what.
