PostgreSQL 8.0.0beta3 (CVS)
Solaris 9
gcc 3.4.2
gmake 3.80

Attempting to install contrib/dblink fails due to libpq not being
found:

% psql -Upostgres test < dblink.sql
ERROR: could not load library "/usr/local/pgsql/lib/dblink.so": ld.so.1: /usr/local/pgsql/bin/postgres: fatal: libpq.so.3: open failed: No such file or directory

This happens if libpq.so.3 isn't in a directory that the run-time
linker is configured to search. The standard client applications
work because they were linked with "-R/usr/local/pgsql/lib", which
is this platform's way of adding library search directories to a
dynamically-linked object (other systems may use a different set
of options).

I got dblink to work by editing contrib/dblink/Makefile and changing
this line:

SHLIB_LINK = $(libpq)

to this:

SHLIB_LINK = -R/usr/local/pgsql/lib $(libpq)

I don't know what the correct platform-independent incantation
should be -- I tried using $(rpath) but it didn't expand to
anything.

Why not? Makefile.solaris certainly looks like it will set rpath
to what you want.

Actually it appears the true culprit is over here:
