Re: BUG #3363: Unable to load a plugin/library using -c switch to the psql

I've not done what you're doing, so this is just a suggestion.  I'm
not sure about the Windows shell, but the bash shell will convert
$libdir before handing it off to psql.  Is it possible that $libdir
has a different meaning in psql than it does to the shell?
