I'm not sure about the Windows shell, but the bash shell will convert
$libdir before handing it off to psql.
I am actually using MinGW, so no I am not using Windows shell but a bash
shell compiled for Windows.
Yes, it was actually the bash, interpreting the $ symbol in a special way,
hence the problem. I tried the following (notice \$ , escaping $ sign ) and
now it works...
$ psql postgres test -X -c "load '\$libdir/plugins/index_adviser.dll';"
NOTICE: IND ADV: Loaded; PID: 4968
LOAD
Had I been using the Windows shell, I wouldn't have faced this problem :)
Thanks for the pointer....
not a bug
Is it possible that $libdir has a different meaning in psql than it does to
the shell?

PostgreSQL version: 8.3devel
Operating system: Windows
Description: Unable to load a plugin/library using -c switch to the
psql
Details:
The following command fails:
psql postgres test -X -c "load '$libdir/plugins/index_adviser.dll';"
Here, 'test' user (non-superuser) is trying to connect to 'postgres'
database, and wishes to load a plugin as the first step.
But if the same 'load' command is fired by the same user after log-in
using psql, then the command succeeds.
postgres=> load '$libdir/plugins/index_adviser.dll';
NOTICE: IND ADV: Loaded; PID: 1164
LOAD
postgres=>
