It is need on compilation time. If you linked the static library on
compilation to the postgresql binaries, you do not need when you running the

To link the static library, Edit src/Makefile.global file, there will be a
entry like "-lpq".
Change this to like
"<base_dir>/postgresql-7.4/src/interfaces/libpq/libpq.a"
