Where do they think it is?

A useful way to check would be to strace the backend while you're
executing "createlang" or another command that tries to load a
dynamic library.  The file names that it tries to stat() would be
good evidence.

Also, how are you starting the postmaster?  I believe that current
sources will try to locate $libdir via a relative path from where
the postmaster executable is.  We've fixed some bugs in that area
recently, but maybe there are more.
