I cannot quite follow, but I think I can still help you. It depends on the executable that is linked with PostgreSQL. If you have a 64-bit executable that loads libpq.so, you will need the 64-bit libpq.so; similar for 32-bit. libpq.so is part of the client installation. You can access a 64-bit server with a 32-bit client. Does that answer your question? Yours, Laurenz Albe
