Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I grabbed a copy of 0.16, and your '-rpath' hint seems to do the trick.
However, what I did was eyeball the Makefile after running configure,
and put (I hoped) appropriate -rpaths wherever (it seemed) appropriate.

I haven't bothered with the tests just yet - so I haven't tried
'(current-module)' yet - but I plan to, out of curiosity, if nothing
else. ;-) (Seriously, I do need to run the tests before I can even
consider using this in production.)

For now, though, I can at long, long last connect to and query my
postgres server from Guile1.6.4. - I've tried it.  Woohoooo! :-D

Too, I had to clean up the broken 0.19 install by hand - I had moved the
mis-placed directories, so 'make uninstall' didn't work properly in the
0.19 build.  That slowed me down for a while, because the old stuff,
being earlier in the default %load-path, kept loading and baffling
me. ;-}

Thanks again, (and whew!),
+Chris
