Thanks for your reply. My system has Red Hat 8.0 with postgresql
installed from it as rpm. Then I tried to rpm -e and went to the
postgresql-7.3.4.tar.gz distribution of source because the rpm wasn't
yet available.
I don't see the LD_LIBRARY_PATH listed using the "env" command, and I
can't get the command "ldd psql" to be recognized.

LD_LIBRARY_PATH is often not set except for users with specific needs. Having it set might lead to your symptoms, but having it unset is almost certainly fine.
That's ldd (not lld) and you certainly have it... it's part of glibc-common which in turn is required (in the rpm sense) by glibc. Example:
whoville$ ldd `type -p psql`
libpq.so.3 => /apps/compbio/i686-linux-2.4/opt/postgresql-7.4/lib/libpq.so.3 (0x40017000)
libpam.so.0 => /lib/libpam.so.0 (0x40045000)
libssl.so.2 => /lib/libssl.so.2 (0x4004d000)
libcrypto.so.2 => /lib/libcrypto.so.2 (0x4007c000)
(and so on)
Tip: pg_config --configure will tell you how the current installation was configured. I recompile roughly like this:
$ cd postgresql-7.4.1
$ pg_config --configure
'--prefix=/apps/compbio/i686-linux-2.4/opt/postgresql-7.4' '--with-perl' '--with-python' '--with-tcl' '--with-CXX' '--with-openssl' '--with-pam' '--with-krb5=/usr/kerberos'
$ ./configure <copy/paste above line, changing --prefix directory>
$ make
$ make install
The --prefix bit is there because I like to keep several versions around.
