   Does this definition come in to play in the make done down 
   in the src/test/regress directory?  src/test/regress/README 
   Instructions state:
   " To prepare for regression testing, do "make all" in the regression test
     directory.  This compiles a 'C' program with PostgreSQL extension functions
    ..."
   
   - From what I am seeing, it does not.  I have not added any 
   definitions of LD_LIBRARY_PATH or LIBDIR elsewhere such as in the 
   /etc/profile file (did make the suggested entry in the /etc/ld.so.conf).

   Did run ldconfig.

   Instructions correctly say to run ldconfig after editing /etc/ld.so.conf.
   No doc changes on ldconfig are needed.

   It should, unless you have a sufficiently odd version of GNU make.

   What exactly are you seeing that makes you believe that?

   This issue has absolutely nothing to do with the dynamic linker.
