I have very little experience of C++, but all these errors relate to the
string class; it appears not to be provided by your class library.
pgconnection.h appears to contemplate the possibility, since the
inclusion of string.h is enclosed in an #ifdef, but there is no
alternative provided.

I think that libpq++ is very poorly tested.  If you look back in the
archives a week or two, you will find mention of a new C++ interface
that would replace libpq++.

This is a link error; the command does not link the libpq library into
the executable.  You need to add "-lpq" to the link options.
