Problem with check_pgsql

[Kaplan, Andrew H.]

Hi there --

That did it. I added a line to /etc/libpq.so.5 and also symbolic links in the
various directories. I then ran the ldconfig command. The plugin worked
fine after that. Thanks again.

I think on Fedora you can edit /etc/ld.so.conf, then run ldconfig.

Or make sure there is a symlink to the libpq.so.5 in /lib, /usr/lib and 
/usr/local/lib (just to cover all bases!)

I had a similar problem on FreeBSD, and linking libpq.so.5 in /lib was 
the trick.
