Getting this error

I can’t seem to resolve.
PLease provide instructions on resolution
/lib64/libpq.so.5 is a symlink to a specific version, current version looks like /usr/lib/libpq.so.5.13
if you look where that comes from on enterprise Linux it’s from the appsteam repo in the libpq package but only on enterprise Linux 9
you’re installing against Oracle Linux 8.5 which isn’t listed as a supported platform, so you’d need a repo aligned to Oracle linux 8.5 that hosted a package that provided that library
There is libpq-13.20-1.el8_10.x86_64.rpm in RedHat 8.5 so I’d expect an Oracle OEL repo to contain it too.
I abandoned the oracle linux server and have successfully installed on a Rocky 9.5 VM.
I’m having issues with remote execution. I can’t seem to get the smart proxy to have the ssh feature. This is on Foreman 3.14.
The features shown are:
Dynflow, Logs, Puppet, Puppet CA, and Script
I’ve tried what I could find online but haven’t been successful so far.
Did you enable the REX feature for your Smart Proxy?

What I actually should have said, Script is the REX SSH feature 
What exact issues do you have with REX?
