It means you don't have a plpgsql.so file, and the reason is here:

--disable-shared has been deprecated for awhile, and it's evidently flat
out broken as of 9.1, since plpgsql.so is now effectively required.
Do you really need that?

(We should either fix this or remove the option, but in the meantime,
don't use it.)
