Tom,
I wasn't able to get pgadmin4 working with the symlinks, but I'm not very knowledgeable about libraries.
But that's not a problem. I appreciate everyone diagnosing the issue. I'll reach out the pgsql-admin forum to see if there's a simple workaround or if a GSSAPI-enabled pgadmin4 client is in the pipeline. If not, I have other GUI or CLI programs I can use.
Regards,
Sean

Yeah, probably. Try "otool -L" on the symlink and see if it manages
to resolve all the dependencies.
Another point here is that libpq.5.6.dylib is quite a few major versions
back, so it's possible that pgadmin needs a newer version of that library.
Hard to tell what's going on unless you can find some lower-level error
report.

You'd have to pester the pgadmin folk about that.
