Try again, but use /usr/local/pgsql/lib

Probably the best thing to do is to set and export some environment
variables:

export PGHOME=/usr/local/pgsql
export PGDATA=$PGHOME/data
export PGLIB=$PGHOME/lib

Put these into whatever login config files you use (.bash_profile or
whatever) for users that need to use Postgres.
