Ok, then, use a binary built for FreeBSD 4.0 on OpenBSD 2.9.  A _PostgreSQL_
binary.

If you want to build everything from source there are no library problems,
regardless of OS -- until you upgrade the OS.

You see, there's more to it than meets the eye....

Although, older binaries usually work fine after an upgrade of RedHat, thanks
to it keeping around older libs during an upgrade....
