Library Files

The library files installed by PostgreSQL vary depending on a number of factors; compile-time options, specific packages, versions, and ancillary programs all determine what libraries are installed. Therefore, the following is a listing of the most common libraries installed and their typical locations. The symbol indicates a symbolic link, and the version numbers have been replaced with an "X" or a "Y" to indicate major and minor version numbers. Substitute as appropriate.
