Re: psql will not run

After a successful install, and with postmaster running, we cannot get psql
(or any of the psql-dependent scripts) to run;

The error message is:

ld.so.1: /usr/local/app/pgsql/bin/psql: fatal: libgcc_s.so.1: open
failed: No such file or directory

We have the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable for the postgres user set to
/usr/local/lib:/d1/gcc/lib;

The contents of /usr/local/lib are:

gcc-lib libg2c.so.0 libgcj.la
libhistory.a libiberty.a libreadline.so
libstdc++.so security
libfrtbegin.a libg2c.so.0.0.0 libgcj.so
libhistory.old libobjc.a libreadline.so.4
libstdc++.so.4 sparcv9
libg2c.a libgcc_s.so libgcj.so.3
libhistory.so libobjc.la libreadline.so.4.old
libstdc++.so.4.0.0
libg2c.la libgcc_s.so.1 libgcj.so.3.0.0
libhistory.so.4 libreadline.a libstdc++.a libsupc++.a
libg2c.so libgcj.a libgcj.spec
libhistory.so.4.old libreadline.old libstdc++.la libsupc++.la

The contents of /d1/gcc/lib are:

gcc-lib lib-org-xml-sax.la libffi.so
libgcc_s.so libgcj.spec libstdc++.so.5
lib-org-w3c-dom.a lib-org-xml-sax.so libfrtbegin.a

ib-org-w3c-dom.so lib-org-xml-sax.so.0.0.0 libg2c.la
libgcj.la libobjc.la libsupc++.la
ib-org-w3c-dom.so.0 libffi-2.00-beta.so libg2c.so

ib-org-xml-sax.a libffi.la libg2c.so.0.0.0
libgcj.so.4.0.0 libstdc++.so

I cannot see any reason why the linker cannot find libgcc_s.so.1; any ideas?

Is it exported?

Are these maybe symlinks to non-existent files? Try ls -l

If that semicolon is actually part of the variable value, it shouldn't
be. But I'm not sure that's your problem. What platform are you on?
LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not used on all Unixen.
