libpq version was changed in 8.0.2.

If you are using Red Hat / Fedora Core, install this package to solve the
problem:

http://developer.postgresql.org/~devrim/rpms/compat/compat-postgresql-libs-3-3PGDG.i686.rpm

This RPM installs the following files:

#rpm -qlp compat-postgresql-libs-3-3PGDG.i686.rpm
/usr/lib/libecpg.so.4
/usr/lib/libecpg.so.4.1
/usr/lib/libecpg_compat.so.1
/usr/lib/libecpg_compat.so.1.2
/usr/lib/libpgtypes.so.1
/usr/lib/libpgtypes.so.1.2
/usr/lib/libpq.so.3
/usr/lib/libpq.so.3.1
