Thread: /usr/libexec/elf/ld: cannot find -lpq

I don´t know if it is about that list, but...there is my problem trying to
compile  a C++ app on a FreeBSD machine:

complex# make
make  all-recursive
Making all in everestserver
Making all in docs
Making all in en
c++  -g -O2  -o everestserver  main.o -lpq
/usr/libexec/elf/ld: cannot find -lpq
*** Error code 1

Stop in /root/rewq/everestserver.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /root/rewq/everestserver.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /root/rewq.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /root/rewq
------------------------
 Thanks for any help!  Eduardo

You are missing an -L option that points the linker to the directory where
libpq is installed.

For details, read the documentation:
