Yes, that's it

Maybe, as I stated before, you might needt to allow root to access the
databases or to run your pg_dump-script as
   su - oracle -c 'pg_dump <dbname>'

If your database user (oracle) has PG_LIB (I don't remember the variable
exactly, but it's something like that, take a look at the INSTALL file in
the postgresql-source tree) set, then you don't even need ldconfig.
