Try linking the libpq.so.5 library in /lib as well.
Failing that, edit /etc/ld.so.conf, add "/usr/local/pgsql/lib" to the
bottom, and run "ldconfig."

Sorry, I meant to say I had it in the /lib directory as well. I tried running ldconfig with what you said and it didn't work doing it that way either. When I run ld it says: "/usr/local/pgsql/lib is not a known library" and the rpm still can't locate the libpq.so.5 file.
