I usually use pg_result... here is a snipped of some C I have used:
<<<>>>
for (i = 0; i < PQntuples(res); i++)
{
dbName = PQgetvalue(res, i, 0);
<<<>>>
It works perfectly on the Linux, IRIX and Digital Unix (OSF/1)... Assuming
all the regression tests worked when you installed, and that you are
linking your program with the proper libpq, I guess the next step is to
see more of the code and to know exactly how you compiled it.
