libpq Newbie question - Mailing list pgsql-general

Hi, I'm a newbie in postgresql, would like to know how to access database
using libpq. I found example code on postgresql's site, however i'm not able
to execute the code it always giving me an error.
I hope anyone could explain to me how to fix this.
Thank you.

Error:

The code:

 * testlibpq2.c
 *  Test of the asynchronous notification interface
 *
 * Start this program, then from psql in another window do
 *   NOTIFY TBL2;
 *
 * Or, if you want to get fancy, try this:
 * Populate a database with the following:
 *
 *   CREATE TABLE TBL1 (i int4);
 *
 *   CREATE TABLE TBL2 (i int4);
 *
 *   CREATE RULE r1 AS ON INSERT TO TBL1 DO
 *     (INSERT INTO TBL2 values (new.i); NOTIFY TBL2);
 *
 * and do
 *
 *   INSERT INTO TBL1 values (10);
