Can you provide the output of ldd? The libraries are supposed to be
reasonably compatable.
In any case, you should try to run both servers against the same set of
libs and headers. You can have multiple copies of libpq around and
select it at compile time. The client library doesn't really have to
match the server version...
Hope this helps,
