Re: postgresql unix socket connections

But in both of the machines I have the same os and I used the same
repository - postgresql rpm repository. The only difference is that in
machine 2 I also installed all pg 9.6 packages. Even When I try to use
/usr/pgsql-9.2/bin/psql the psql still tries to access the
/var/run/run/postgresql dir as the socket dir. Does those packages include
a different libpq ? What postgres package change the libpq ?
