I'm new to using PostgreSQL on mac OS X. I used a binary installer
for PostgreSQL 8.3 on mac OS X 10.5, which installs into

/Library/PostgreSQL/[version]/....

I'm building a lot of software that links to libpq and most of the
builds fail or the run-time fails, because it cannot find the
PostgreSQL libraries by default. It seems the dynamic link loader
doesn't search this path by default to locate dynamic libraries, like
libpq.5.dylib.

Can you fix this issue for the binary installer?

Thanks!
