Tom, I think all the libraries that libpq.so needs are right there. Please
see the following:libresolv.so.2 =>        /usr/lib/libresolv.so.2       libsocket.so.1 =>
/usr/lib/libsocket.so.1      libnsl.so.1 =>   /usr/lib/libnsl.so.1       libgcc_s.so.1 =>
/usr/local/lib/libgcc_s.so.1      libc.so.1 =>     /usr/lib/libc.so.1       libdl.so.1 =>    /usr/lib/libdl.so.1
libmp.so.2=>    /usr/lib/libmp.so.2       /usr/platform/SUNW,Ultra-5_10/lib/libc_psr.so.1

So what else could be wrong?
Thank you very much.
