You probably need to add your library folder to /etc/ld.so.conf and then run
ldconfig.
Alternatively, you could symlink from /usr/local/lib to the library and do the
same for the binaries - that would mean you could skip the leading path when
running psql.
You can find the correct directory with:
find /usr/local -name 'libpg.so.3'
There should be something on this in the installation instructions. In any
case, googling for "ldconfig" should find you some help.
