next error.
        Error trying to connect to database "xxxx" on host "xxx"
        PostgreSQL error message: Connection to database failed
connectDB() --connect() failed: Connection refused Is the postmaster
running (whit -i) at "xxx" and accepting connections on TCP/IP por
"5432".

    I use Postgresql 6.5, on RedHat 6. I don't know why not connect.

2. When i compiled one program in C, I don't  Know what parameter i use
with gcc
but i compilied the example of the testc.c in manual of programmer no
indicate How to compiled.


Thanks for yor help.

From an xterm / command prompt, type:

 ps auxw |grep postmaster

  Make sure the postmaster is running with the -i option (ie, postmaster -i
-B 256) If you are running pgaccess on a different machine than PostGres is
running on, you'll also have to edit the pg_hba.conf to make sure you are
allowed to connect from the remote machine.

  To compile C programs you need to add the pq library, so use something like:
gcc -o test test.c -lpq

Good luck.

Excellent pgaccess  work is great.

So  when I compiled my program in C use
gcc -o prueba prueba.c  -llibpq.so

responde
    /usr/bin/ld: cannot open -llibpg.so : no such file or directory
    collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I  probe with
gcc -o prueba prueba.c  -llibpq.so -L/usr/lib

But equal , I sure that the library is in this directory and a observe the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH and the directory  is in this variable.

So i don't Know why not compiled.

Thanks

gcc -o prueba prueba.c -L/usr/lib -lpq

-l tells gcc ( the linker, actually ) to look for lib<whatever follows the
-l>.  ie: -lm == libm, -lpq == libpq.

-llibpq.so == liblibpq.so.  obviously that file doesnt exist.

more information can be obtained via 'info gcc' or 'man gcc'.

You must launch postmaster with parameters -S -i, if you have a postgres
file in /etc/rc.d/init.d/ open it, and modify how postgres is started

You must compile with -lpq , something like
gcc test.c -lpq
