Lazarus was working under FC4 (except that numeric data wouldn't
display, just char and date). Something went sour on my HD so I
reformatted and installed FC5 along with the prper verstons of fpc,
etc. When I got the message "Cannot open PostgreSQL client. Is it
installed (libpq.so)" I made sure I had a link to libpq.so.4.1 in
/usr/lib64. When that didn't help I tried to put one in /usr/lib but
got a message that the _file_ was already installed even though I
couldn't see it under ls in /usr/lib. The same thinghappens with the
installation in my notebook (both have Athlon 64 CPUs).

do you build for 32 or for 64 bit ?
What version of Laz did you install ?
is libpq.so.4.1 a 64 or a 32 bit lib ?

All 64-bit.

OK, now that I've read your message again, I think that the db clients
are loaded dynamically by the SQL component itself (first I thought it
was a linker problem). Why it can't find the libpq.so, you maybe can
find in the source.
I'm lost here (I don't use dbs with Laz)
