PQerrorMessage() should give you the same info in your standalone
libpq program.
What I'd wonder is whether the postmaster is using that socket location
or not. The more common location is /tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432. You might have
a problem with having a copy of libpq that has a different default
socket path compiled into it than the postmaster does.
