So libpq.so.5 is not in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH. You may want to add the
directory that contains libpq.so.5 to /etc/ld.so.conf and run ldconfig
(as root). Another option might be running

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/libpq.so.5 pg_top

-HTH.

Thanks Devrim,
    I can understand the prob, but when i tried to use the second method it raises the same error. And the first method can u tell me how to add the libpq.so.5 in conf file? since i am new to linux , so i dont know more about it... currently that file has only one line

include ld.so.conf.d/*.conf

i tried including that but got error while ldconfig

can u pls tell how to implement...
