Yeah, probably.  Try "otool -L" on the symlink and see if it manages
to resolve all the dependencies.

Another point here is that libpq.5.6.dylib is quite a few major versions
back, so it's possible that pgadmin needs a newer version of that library.
Hard to tell what's going on unless you can find some lower-level error
report.

You'd have to pester the pgadmin folk about that.
