ldd on plperl.so might be informative.

I don't know for sure about SUSE, but on Red Hat-derived systems it's
standard (and no I don't think this is sane) to put plperl.so into
a directory such as that, but not include that directory in the ldconfig
search path. This means that plperl.so MUST have an explicit rpath
to that directory or it will fail as above. So if ldd shows plperl.so
as not resolving its link to libperl.so, that's probably your problem.
Where did you get your postgres build from? This is pretty clear
packager error IMHO.

Hmm. libtcl and libpython are normally installed in sane locations, so
whatever their problem is is something different. Again, ldd would be
informative.
