A couple options:
1. Add the directory to /etc/ld.so.conf and update the cache by
running ldconfig.
2. Create a wrapper that calls the actual binary. Put the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the wrapper. For example:
#!/bin/sh
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/pgsql/lib exec /path/to/actual/cgi/binary
3. Link the program with /usr/local/pgsql/lib in the runtime
library search path. See the ld(1) man page for the -rpath option.
Also, see the gcc(1) man page for passing arguments to ld
(specifically, the -Wl option):
gcc -Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/pgsql/lib ... etc ...
Maybe others I'm not thinking of?
