/usr/bin/pgaccess fails to load libpgtcl.so because that library

Please describe a way to repeat the problem.   Please try to provide a
concise reproducible example, if at all possible: 
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Run /usr/bin/pgaccess on Red Hat 6.0.  Observe the error message.

This patch is in unified-diff format.  The patch should be appropriate
for all systems, since the extra load statement is enclosed in a
"catch", making any failure silent.
