[GENERAL] New 9.6.2 installation lacks /usr/lib/postgresql/

From

   Just installed postgresql-9.6.2 on Slackware-14.2/x86_64 and initialized
the database. However, there's no /usr/lib/postgresql/ directory with its
subdirectories, and another application I'm building wants that location
during configuration.

   Postgres was installed via the SlackBuilds.org build script which I've
used for many years so I don't know where to start looking for the reason
there's no postgres lib/ directory.

   Diagnostic help appreciated.

Rich

What application?

There is, it is just not at /usr/lib/postgresql. Search for plpgsql.so

As to the build you will either need to specify where the lib/ is in the
configuration process or create a symlink .

   Ah! That's what I need to know.

   Well, sure. As long as I provide grass with the proper path in the config
file it's happy.

Thanks,

   Duh! It's in /usr/lib64/postgresql.

Sigh,
