I am writing a program to interface with the pgsql backend in c on a
linux box.
When I try to connect, it gives me the following error message:

Failed to authenticate client as Postgres user 'root' using <unknown
authentication type>:be_recvauth: unrecognized message type: 65536

I think maybe I should use the fe_setauthsvc function to change the
authentication type, but the manual doesn't help on that function.

User 'root' is a valid user for the database, and i've also tried other
valid users to connect, with the same error message.

Your help is greatly appreciated.
