Well, maybe my first guess (leaving out the extension, i.e.) was wrong after
all.

You might try to play around with the extensions .la and .so in your
postgres.scm.

You could also try to use (load-extension "libpostgres" "init_postgres")
instead of the (dynamic-call ... (dynamic-link ...)) combination.

Then I've seen that your libtool library (postgres) was generated by libtool
1.3.4 whereas guile uses libtool 1.4 (I don't know whether this is
relevant).

What baffles me is the repeated searching and loading of libpostgres and
libpq shown in your strace output.

I'd run ldd on any of these libs to see whether there are dependencies to
other versions of these libs are there (e.g. those from the installation you
deleted). 

Dynamic linking can be weird because you can manipulate it (with
LD_LIBRARY_PATH etc.) and it's not easy to figure out what's wrong (as you
see).

Could be, that you've put your system in some inconsistent state ...
