The -interactive option gives me interaction.  But it still finds the 
nonexistent libpq.so in /usr/lib.

Where are the Postgres95 libraries?
looking for library file(s): libpq.so
checking for library files in directory /usr/lib... not found
checking for library files in directory /usr/local/postgres95/lib... 
not found
checking for library files in directory /usr/local/lib... not found
checking for directory /usr/lib... found 

1: /usr/lib
Where are the Postgres95 libraries? [/usr/lib](1 of 1) 


Only after I accept the default location does it notice threre's no such 
file there.  I find this confusing, because it correctly fails to find 
in in all the other locations.

But I guess I can live with this, because it gives me the chance to say:

The libraries libpq.so are not present in the chosen directory.
Would you like to change the library names? [yes] no
Would you like to continue nonetheless? [yes] yes

Thanks.
