i've gone another direction on the issue, but am continuing to have problems with it. this time i've put my shared object file in the preferred location according to the pg_config command, then i'm attempting to create the function. i do have log output now, and am wondering if someone has an idea where to go with this. thanks in advance for your assistance.

The error message is most likely going to postmaster's stderr, which
might or might not be captured by whatever logging setup you're using.
Try starting the postmaster "by hand", ie just "postmaster -D wherever",
and see if you get anything useful.
It sounds like it's probably an object-file compatibility problem, but
need the message to guess exactly what...
