shared library

Hi ,

I am a new comer to this list.My problem is related to installing of
postgres 7.1.3 to Slackware 8.0 Linux. 2.2.19 Kernel

I had not any problems in my first time install but I tried to install
postgres in to another machine having almost the same configuration.
But new installation step failed in shared library.(I installed postgres
may times)
I know that I should tell the OS where to find shared libraries (either
with /etc/ld.so.conf or environmental variables LD_LIBRARY_PATH which is
not preferrable.)
But when I try to run psql program it says that it cannot find shared
object files.. even if I tell the OS where it can find it..
in archives of the list, most answers are related to LD_LIBRARY_PATH
but it is not a solution for me...
Could any one suggest me a solution ?
any help will be appreciated..
many thanks in advance...
