#61910 new enhancement

Add libpq to postgresql_select?

Port: postgresql_select postgresql13

Description

When using postgresql_select: 

sudo port select --set postgresql postgresql13

But this does not install libpq.dylib into /opt/local/lib which I think would make sense.

I just want to add, that one other alternative that does work is to us pg_config --libdir but it's a little bit cumbersome since it requires existing software to be changed.

So, there are two options:

1/ Symlink libpq (and maybe others) into /opt/local/lib.

2/ Client applications should use pg_config --libdir to find current search path for libraries.
