You´re right, pgAdmin depends on that dll, but it stores a new one for a new
major version (each of which has a seperate folder in "C:/Program
Files/pgAdminIII/"). I have pgAdmin 1.4.3 (libpq.dll version 8.1.4.6142) and
1.6.1 (libpq.dll version 8.1.5.6286) running on the same machine with no
problems. The back-end is version 8.1.0.
I guess what you are proposing for linux is pretty much the same idea, only
not as pretty.
I think i´ll try to extract the libpq.so.5 from the rpm, without compiling
postgres, and use that

I´ll let you know if it worked (or not).
