This is new.  What OS are you using?

Just had a fresh checkout, but could not reproduce it on RHEL3, gcc 
3.2.3. Maybe you were caught in the middle of an commit?

Dunno. I then did "cvs up -dP", "make distclean", and then "./configure
--enable-nls" again two times and the problem is still there.

Perhaps it'd be wise of me to report the OS and the compiler versions :)

This is FC2 with gcc 3.3.2.

FC2 with gcc 3.3.2, as per my reply to Devrim.

Could you be conflicting with PostgreSQL includes defined elsewhere?

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/pgsql80/pgsql/config'
All of PostgreSQL successfully made. Ready to install.

This is also FC2, with gcc version 3.3.3 20040412 (Red Hat Linux 3.3.3-7), 
a server that PostgreSQL has never been compiled before.

There must be something messing up with your (previous) installation.

I'd say it is picking up a several-versions-back libpq.so from
somewhere, but it's hard to tell where.  Do you have anything already
installed in /usr/local/pgsql/lib?  What configure arguments did you
use?

FWIW, I just built on a fresh installation of FC3 Test 2 without any
problems.

The configure args were just "--enable-nls", but it's irrelevant as your
first guess is correct -- it picked up libpq.so of 7.3.6... in /usr/lib it
is. I actually was not aware that the admin had postgres installed there,
so I just went ahead and tried to compile a fresh checkout and got a bit
puzzled the error and it did not occur to me to see if there was
something already installed as the server is new.

Sorry for the noise :(
