Is that link option requirement specific to 6.5.3? Hard to believe that 6.5.2 and 6.5.3 are any different here. More likely there is some configuration difference on your platform. Shared libraries are handled weirdly on many Unixen --- the loader may be configured to look automatically in some directories, for example. If you have "ldconfig" on your system, check its config file. regards, tom lane
