Perhaps the run-time linker is loading an old libpq.  Do you still
have an old version of PostgreSQL installed?  What's the output of
the following command?

ldd `which psql`

What platform are you using, and how did you install PostgreSQL
8.0.0beta2?  In what directory were the shared libraries installed?

That was it!  I had an old version of PG on the box and it was looking in
that directory.
Thank you.
