While setting up munin to monitor postgresql, I was getting "[DBD::Pg not found, and cannot do psql yet]" when running `munin-node-configure --suggest | grep postgres`.
I confirmed that the rpm package "perl-DBI-1.52-2.el5" was indeed installed.
However, when I ran a test against the module, it failed with:
# perl -MDBD::Pg -e 1
Can't load '/usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/auto/DBD/Pg/Pg.so' for module DBD::Pg: libpq.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory at /usr/lib64/perl5/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/DynaLoader.pm line 230.

To get libpq.so.4, "compat-postgresql-libs" package needed to be installed.
Once installed the perl module test passed and I was able to get the munin plugins linked using:
# munin-node-configure --shell | grep postgres | shBookmark/Search this post with
package "libdbd-pg-perl"
I hit this problem. Adding the ubuntu package "libdbd-pg-perl" fixed it for me (discovered at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/munin/+bug/390617 )
