If i recall right there are two (icompatible) postgresql java
drivers. You need to use the one that matches your version of
the jdk and your version of postgresql.

Which driver do you load? There should be a statement like
'Class.forName("org.postgresql.Driver");' somewhere in the
source.

That looks like the default place of the postgres libraries. Did
you compile postgresqlyourself or is this an 'out-of-the-box'
installation?

You can set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to add extra directories to the
dynamic loaders load path (export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/my/dir).
Some postgres programs also check PGLIB for extra places to search for
postgres specific libraries).
