Hello:

I am having problem interfacing the postgres database with the 
frontend(libpq),i.e using C.Database runs fine.
PROBLEMS ARE:           1)When compiling the C-program given in the             example for connecting the database to
the           frontend using      $gcc -I /home/guest/pgsql/include test.c       output:           /tmp/ccwWFbHo.o:In
function'exit_nicely':           /tmp/ccwWFbHo.o(.text+0x8):undefined referance to 'PQfinish'
/tmp/ccwWFbHo.o:Infunction 'main':           /tmp/ccwWFbHo.o(.text+0x66):undefined referance to
 
'PQsetdblogin'
/tmp/ccwWFbHo.o(.text+0x66):undefinedreferance to 'PQstatus'          
 

...............................................................                      2)When I want to use the command
         $createlang c (dbname)           OUTPUT:                  createlang:missing required argument PGLIB
directory.                                                     
 

...............................................................

Try something like this       $gcc -I /home/guest/pgsql/include -L /home/guest/pgsql/lib -lpq test.c

I think that postgres libraries are stored in /home/guest/pgsql/lib.

You don't have specified the path to PGLIB. createlang can't find them.
Try set environment variable PGLIB (e.g. in bash:
export PGLIB=/home/guest/pgsql/lib). Or append this path to environment
variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

I had the same problem. You have to include -lq on the command line.
Futhermore, I had to put it on the end of the line, because the compiler
collects unknown symbols first and then resolves it with the -l library
switch. So I made a little Makefile like this one:

#Little Makefile for making whatever source file directly to an executable.
override CFLAGS += -I/usr/include/postgresql

% : %.c       $(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS) -o $@ $< -lpq

% : %.c++       g++ $(CFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS) -o $@ $< -lpq++

#end

Err,
1: please post this kind of question to the appropriate list
(dbi-dev has _nothing_ to do with this);
2: please post to the list first, not to a semi-random group
of individuals as well; because
3: speaking for myself I have no working knowledge of phppgadmin.

Having said that it looks like some kind of version mismatch is taking place.
IIRC pg_relcheck does not exist in PostreSQL 7.3. google or a search
of the Postgres mailing list archives might help you further.

Please follow up to pgsql-interfaces only (try subscribing if you're not
already).
