At Lorenzo’s suggestion, I updated by PostgreSQL to the current version. This added the missing library (libpq.5.dylib) to /usr/local/pgsql/lib.
Database connection from the command line now works properly. However, from the GUI (tcltk) I still get the error:
Bad file descriptor: dup r
dbmi: Protocol errorUnable to start driver
Perhaps a GUI issue?

From the command line, the response is a bit different:

ERROR: Unable to start driverSince this is Lorenzo’s binary, you’ll have to ask him for more details.
But generally, it doesn’t find libpq. Lorenzo may have forgotten to include libpq in the app bundle.

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarrely inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.
