It looks like dblink.so is getting linked to an old version of libpq.so
(very old, like pre-9.2).  Probably that's whatever is in /usr/lib.
If you don't want to update /usr/lib, you'll need to rebuild with an
"rpath" pointing at the installation location for 9.4.  (Note that PG
usually is built with rpath pointing at whatever configure was told the
installation location would be; so you might have brought this on yourself
by relocating the directory tree from its initial location.)
