Oh, take me out back and shoot me now ;-)
The one step I left out of my description of the process was the one immediately after make install where I decided I
didnot like the name of the folder I had built into, and re-named it. I am surprised though, that with a full path to
libpq,when that path does not exist, the loader searches and finds a system lib instead of just failing.
It's questionable whether the PG executables should be built with full or relative paths to the libs, both have their
owndisadvantages. But might be worth considering --relative-rpath someday? Or an option to link the frickin' static
librariesin and avoid the whole issue of mismatches.
