Description of problem: ldd cannot find libpq.so.5 which is provided by postgresql-devel Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
libpq.so.5 is provided by postgresql-libs -- not -devel. Devel packages commonly don't provide libraries. postgresql-libs is consequently installed as a dependency. I'm not sure what you mean.
