I was trying this example program out of a well known postgresql book and keep getting errors whenever I try to compile.

Error messages ##make client1

you must add -lpq too your LDFLAGS
in order to link the lib you only have the linker paths set in LDFLAGS

it should read like this then:
cc -g  client1.o  -L /usr/lib -L /usr/lib/pgsql -o client1 -lpq
