On Fedora (and other Linuxen) you should basically never rely on LD_LIBRARY_PATH, for exactly the reason you're seeing here: programs work or fail depending on environment. The correct way is to set up the ldconfig search path to include directories where shared libraries exist. Also, it'd probably be a good idea to make sure you have only one set of Postgres executables+shared libraries on the machine. You've evidently got at least two :-( regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
