I believe g++ and egcs changed binary compatibility, so you need a
libpq++ compiled with egcs.

Actually, no g++ releases are compatible. Nor is the same one across
multiple glibcs. C++ is just a bad bet for binary compatibility - this
will hopefully change when gcc 3 is out, but thats not just around the
corner
