But in both of the machines I have the same os and I used the same repository - postgresql rpm repository. The only difference is that in machine 2 I also installed all pg 9.6 packages. Even When I try to use /usr/pgsql-9.2/bin/psql the psql still tries to access the /var/run/run/postgresql dir as the socket dir. Does those packages include a different libpq ? What postgres package change the libpq ?
