Hello,
when I login to linux and check the env's I see:
PATH=/usr/local/pgsql/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/X11R6/bin:/home/postgres/bin:/opt/IBMJava2-14/bin:/opt/IBMJava2-14/jre/bin:/usr/local/pgsql/bin

LD_LIBRARY_PATH =/usr/local/pgsql/lib

However after I successfully start postgresql using
/etc/init.d/postgres start
/etc/init.d/postgres status

I cannot execute the following:
psql testdb
psql: relocation error: psql: undefined symbol: PQgetssl

Then if I execute from the command line:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH =/usr/local/pgsql/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

PATH=/usr/local/pgsql/bin:$PATH
export PATH

then psql testdb works!

What's going on???

Are you exporting those same settings in your .bash_profile or
whatever is setting up your environ?

Yes Scott,
I tried exporting from /root/.bash_profile and /postgres/.bash_profile.
I also added the line

/usr/local/pgsql/lib

to /etc/ld.so.conf

I don't get it.
Phil
