Sorry, I should of course have pointed out from the beginning that I
am using 6.3.2 and only 6.3.2, everything is 6.3.2 downloaded sometime in
the spring (this year :-) and running on Linux.

I think the the important thing is to have -Bdynamic on both libraries
(libpq and libpgtcl).

As I mentioned above, I am running a pure 6.3.2 FE and BE!

I tried this on a RH 5.0 (kernel 2.0.32), but I also have PostgreSQL
running on a Slackware 3.2 (the Jan 1998 edition from Infomagic). I actually
prefere Slackware over RedHat.
