Mark,

    Yeah, from my understanding cc should know where to look for the libraries since I specify the correct place with
the-L option. It seems like cc isn't even recognizing that this option has been set. 

    The only difference I can see between Postgres 6.4.2 and 6.5.1 in this matter is that the library has changed from
libpq.ato libpq.so.2. For some reason I think that move from .a to .so has made the difference. Copying the 
lipq.so.2 over to the /usr/lib32 directory will fix the bug (or at least I haven't found any problems with it so far).
But,I'd rather like to figure out specifically why this is occuring rather than kludging a work around. 

    Maybe between the two of us working on the problem we'll have a better chance of coming across the reason.
