Hello

Most probably your installation of postgres is using a version of
libpq.so already installed in your system and not compatible with
postgresql-9.0.

You haven't said how you installed postgres under /usr/pgsql-9.0/ in
your system, from source?

Check your PATH variable for the user postgres. Which installation you
are using (type psql) and which libpq your executables are trying to use
(ldd /path_to_executable/psql).

You can either delete the libpq installed in your system and use the one
you have installed under /usr/pgsql-9.0/, or upgrade the libpq in your
system to a version compatible with what you have installed under
/usr/pgsql-9.0/.
