font-family:Arial">Okay, now that I have some time to concentrate on getting programs using the libpq and/or libpq++ to
compileI will try this message again. I am using PostgreSQL 7.1.3, glibc-2.2.4-19.3 and gcc-2.96-85. Any time I try to
compilea program that uses the libpq or the libpq++ headers or libraries i get errors. When I installed PostgreSQL i
usedboth make install, and make install-all-headers to ensure that all the header files were copied to the system and I
didboth the commands as root. I have included some of the output I get when I try compiling different
ways.</span></font><pclass="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;

I have very little experience of C++, but all these errors relate to the
string class; it appears not to be provided by your class library.
pgconnection.h appears to contemplate the possibility, since the
inclusion of string.h is enclosed in an #ifdef, but there is no
alternative provided.
I think that libpq++ is very poorly tested. If you look back in the
archives a week or two, you will find mention of a new C++ interface
that would replace libpq++.

This is a link error; the command does not link the libpq library into
the executable. You need to add "-lpq" to the link options.

Thanks for the reply,
I do know that I have included <string.h> for other programs, and that
it does not have anything to do with C++ Strings. I will just not use
libpq++ if is not tested or of poor quality. I am fine using libpq, it
really does not matter to me. I was just hoping one or the other would
work for me. So with that said, is there anything else that might be
causing these errors other than string.h, and if not how do I get the
libpq libraries to work with string.h?
When I try to add -lpq to the link options I get libpq.so.2 not found.
Is there a something special I need to do to add that? Here is the
command's I have tried.
First I compile without linking.
gcc -c testlibpq.c -I/usr/local/pgsql/include/
Then I link using the -lpq and the directory is is in
gcc -o testlibpq testlibpq.o -L/usr/local/pgsql/lib/ -lpq
Then I try to run the program.
./testlibpq
./testlibpq: error while loading shared libraries: libpq.so.2: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory
Since it does not seem to be able to find it I try looking at what all
it needs using the ldd command. Once again it says not found.
ldd testlibpq libpq.so.2 => not found libc.so.6 => /lib/i686/libc.so.6 (0x4001b000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2=> /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)
So now I actually look for the library myself, and it is obviously on
the computer in several place.
locate libpq.so.2
/home/tech/isaac/postgres/postgresql-7.1.3/src/interfaces/libpq/libpq.so
.2.1
/home/tech/isaac/postgres/postgresql-7.1.3/src/interfaces/libpq/libpq.so
.2

stall/usr/local/pgsql/lib/libpq.so.2.1
/usr/local/pgsql/lib/libpq.so.2
/usr/local/pgsql/lib/libpq.so.2.1
I have never installed any libraries on a Linux system before. Are there
any tutorials out there that can teach me how to do this, or does anyone
know how to do it that would not mind telling me. I am currently looking
for anything I can find but am not having much luck. I will continue
looking but if anyone can help push me in the right direction I would be
very grateful.
Thanks for all the help so far.

archives a week or two, you will find mention of a new C++ interface
that would replace libpq++.

This is a link error; the command does not link the libpq library into
the executable. You need to add "-lpq" to the link options.

So have a look at where the libpq is installed and add that path to your /etc/ld.so.conf and call 'ldconfig'. You should also check that you have the libpq.so.2 beeing a symbolic link to the real library called 'libpq.so.2.xx' where 'xx' is the real minor version number. There should also be symbolic link called libpq.so pointing to your libpq.so.2! Maybe you forgot to 'make install' all that stuff and have therefor all these problems ???? Remember: There are some include files installed too. Usually all this stuff goes to /usr/local/pgsql/lib and /usr/local/pgsql/include respectively. So you should have an include-path for compilation pointing to the mentioned include directory and the libpath added to /etc/ld.so.conf. Hope this helps Andreas

Right. <string.h> is for the C string manipulation functions. The C++ string type is defined in <string>. Also note that depending on your compiler (and compiler version), the standard string type may be known as just "string", or as the more modern "std::string". Jeroen
While we're on the subject, I find it strange that I need to add
CPPFLAGS+=-I${PGSQL}/include/internal
as libpq++.h -> libpq++/pgconnection.h -> postgres_fe.h which is in fact
internal/postgres_fe.h
Header file spaghetti?

Yes, but it's fixed in whatever the latest beta is right now.

This is fixed as of RC2, I believe.

Great - already downloaded source (I was still on beta4)
Cheers,
