Look at pgaccess. A version is distributed with the Postgres source
tree, and is included in our recent beta-quality rpms.

Read the pgaccess script -- in particular, the section that loads
libpgtcl.so. This whole script is an excellent example of accessing
PostgreSQL from tcl/tk. If you do not have the pgaccess script, download
the pgaccess tarball from ftp://www.flex.ro/pub/pgaccess, or from my
server at http://206.74.232.196/postgres.  You will be glad you looked
over this script.

Something like:

load libpgtcl.so

THEN you can use pg_connect et al.
