I compiled postgresql beta 4 on a users account and installed it with a different port into my home directory (~/pg9) This was recommended by my web host because they refused to give me plpythonu access on a shared server. (perfectly understandable from their perspective) I can get into psql using psql -p{port number} -U{username} postgres pg_dump works as well. When I try using createdb or createlang I get the error: undefined symbol: PQconnectdbParams Obviously I can get around this problem by going into psql and running these commands, but I would like my environment set up correctly.
