Yes, I found the lipo command this morning after reading the man page
for the
arch command :)

I glued together the x86_64 and i386 libpq5.2.dylibs and copied it into
the pgsql library directory and restarted the server...looks like
it is working ok...

With the fat libpq I was able build both of the database interfaces
pgtcl and psycopg2.

By default the interface libs where created as fat libraries so I
can build/run pg apps using Apple tcl 32/64 bit or Apple python 32/64
bit.
( the arch command can force Apple tcl to run in 32 bit mode).

My remaining problems are:

1) dblink_connect cannot resolve names, I have to use IP's.

2) My once rock solid WxPython based Postgresql browser has
gone sideways. After a couple of selects the app vanishes
in a puff of smoke or it hangs.
