Re: PSQL NEWBIE - RUNTIME ERROR

If you link to a library on your system that is not in your library path,
you will get this problem.

The solutions is basically one of:
- Create a symlink to the lib in a directory that is in the path (like
/usr/local/lib)
- Add the directory to your /etc/ld.so.conf
- Add it to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable

Rerun ldconfig in any case.

Hope this helps.
