LD_LIBRARY_PATH not honored on Debian unstable - Mailing list pgsql-hackers

Hi,

I'm trying to run 'make check' on a 64bit Debian unstable. That aborts 
after 60 seconds due to not being able to connect to the postmaster.

I figured that there's nothing wrong with the postmaster, rather psql 
can't start up, because it gets linked against an older libpq.so.5. It 
looks like for some reason, it doesn't respect the LD_LIBRARY_PATH env 
variable, see ldd output:

Giving it an additional LD_PRELOAD for the newish libpq.5.1 helps:

Somebody have an idea on what's wrong here? Thanks.
