The configure args were just "--enable-nls", but it's irrelevant as your
first guess is correct -- it picked up libpq.so of 7.3.6... in /usr/lib it
is. I actually was not aware that the admin had postgres installed there,
so I just went ahead and tried to compile a fresh checkout and got a bit
puzzled the error and it did not occur to me to see if there was
something already installed as the server is new.

Sorry for the noise :(
