Did you link the postgresql library? -llibpq

Since you're running linux, you're probably running apache. Look in the
apache source dirs and find the sample program that uses util.c. The
easiest thing for you to do is to use util.c as is and use the few lines
in the program that uses it to parse the cgi. They'll look something like
this:
cl = atoi(getenv("CONTENT_LENGTH"));
for(x=0;cl && (!feof(stdin));x++) {
m=x;
entries[x].val = fmakeword(stdin,'&',&cl);
plustospace(entries[x].val);
unescape_url(entries[x].val);
entries[x].name = makeword(entries[x].val,'=');
}
The resultant items from the form will be in the entries structure. Name
will be the tag's name and val will be it's value.
