Did you try running ldconfig? You need to run this as root after making
changes to /etc/ld.so.conf. If you add the '-v' option it will tell you
what libraries it's using.
ldd may be usefull as well, it tells you what libraries a binary uses and
complains when it can't find one or more. That way you'll know what to
look for if indeed you're missing libraries!
For example:
$ ldd /usr/local/pgsql
libpq.so.2 => /usr/local/pgsql/lib/libpq.so.2 (0x40017000)
...
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40259000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)
Good luck,
Francisco
