Thanks for the clue Ernst. I reran ldconfig and the source tree is now
happy. I have my system configured to have the ld database point to
/opt/postgres/current/lib/ so it wasn't just a softlink change.

So the story is that the name of libpq.so.xx has changed. But why bother
with .1 or .1.1 in the first place? Shouldn't the numbering either
change for each new version of libpq interface, or be omitted
altogether? Has anyone thought about having it match the Postgres
release number?
