Success at last!!!

I downloades a new tarball from sourceforge; this time selecting the  tar.bz2 compression scheme.  Previously I always used the tar.gz out of habit.
The install went off without a hitch! 
Something is off about some of these tar files.
Many thanks for all the help!

Does someone know where it's supposed to reside?

On a Mac it's actually going to be .dylib --- sorry about saying .so.
You should have something like

-rwxr-xr-x   1 tgl  admin  166520 Oct  2 23:51 libpq.5.3.dylib*
lrwxr-xr-x   1 tgl  admin      15 Oct  2 23:51 libpq.5.dylib@ -> libpq.5.3.dylib
lrwxr-xr-x   1 tgl  admin      15 Oct  2 23:51 libpq.dylib@ -> libpq.5.3.dylib

where the numbers will vary depending on which PG release we're
talking about.
