Re: SUMMARY: Solaved. apache perl cgi script cant load libpq.5.dylib on mac os tiger

I found a similar problem only with a slight variation.

postgresql, for me, is installed in /opt/local/ with the particular file
being located at:
/opt/local/lib/postgresql83/libpq.5.dylib

This is all a part of the mac ports installation for apache2 and postgres.

It seems that the problem isn't so much pgsql but apache2 and/or mac
ports. But would you (or anyone else) have a suggestion on how to
proceed? I could probably just make a lot of soft links, but that
doesn't seem very robust.
