Is that directory in LD_LIBRARY_PATH when you're su'd to the postgreSQL
user?

I added

    LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

to /etc/init.d/postgresql and created a .profile in its home directory
with that in it.

Solved all those problems :).

You can also solve such problems by using the -R switch during build
(man ld) and with Solaris 8/9's new "crle" utility.
