I have a sneaking recollection that PostgresPlus 8.3 on Mac didn't
support being used for building extensions or third party apps due to
the way the library paths were configured. What's the output from:
otool -L /Library/PostgresPlus/8.3/lib/libpq.5.dylib
FYI, the PostgreSQL 8.3, 8.4 and Postgres Plus 8.4 installers we
produce should all work fine. It's just the older Postgres Plus that
used very different technology.
