correct. libpq comes from postgresql, not php

chances are on your colo box they installed 7.2 at some point which gave
you libpq.so.2 (or someone symlinked the 2 files so as to hack there way
out of this problem).  i think your choices now are to install 7.2
pgsql-libs rpm on the 8.0 box or to recompile apache/php so it links
against libpq.so.3
