Hello,
I am quite new to the installation and setup of PostgreSQL and thus far have been able to compile and install version 7.1.3. I can then connect to the database locally, etc. The problem I am having is in trying to use either the libpq or the libpq++. No program I write, even if all I do is include the header files, will compile. I have done a make install-all-headers as root, and still have no luck when trying to compile programs that use either library. I have read thru the faq’s and the doc files, added the library directories to my path in the manners described etc, but I still have no luck when trying to compile a program. The sample programs included with the source will not even compile when I use a make. At this point it seems that the header files are not my problem, because I no longer get files not found errors, or what not. But when the compiler goes to link my program with the libraries it just does not seem to want to do it. Is there any good documentation out there on how to set up pqsql so I can write programs with it. This is something that I need very urgently, since I am under a deadline and have to have a program written that will put information into the database by Monday. If anyone out there has any idea how to help me please send me an email. Thank you very much in advance for reading and responding to this email.
Sincerely
Isaac D. Flemming
