Thread: Missing libpq error with pgadmin/postgresql-libs
Hi, I installed the postgresql-9.1 yum repository package on a Centos 6 system, and followed by installing pgadmin with: yum install pgadmin3_91 It installed the postgresql91-libs package to satisfy dependency. But when I try to launch pgadmin, I get an error: [heikki@centos6-x86-vm ~]$ pgadmin3 pgadmin3: error while loading shared libraries: libpq.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Running this as root fixed it: ln -s /usr/pgsql-9.1/lib/libpq.so.5 /usr/lib64 - Heikki

This is actually a packaging error. You won't see this when you also install -server subpackage. We already have an open ticket for this: http://wiki.pgrpms.org/ticket/82 I have some free cycles nowadays. I'll fix it. Until then, please unlink what you linked, then install http://svn.pgrpms.org/browser/rpm/redhat/9.1/postgresql/EL-6/postgresql-9.1-libs.conf under /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ and then run ldconfig Hope this helps..
