Hello,         i have just started working with postgres. I want ot access
the database from c or c++. I got some help from manual. I explained
that libpq or libpq++ is required. I am working o redhat 9. i have all
the packages installed, but i don't have the libpq and libpq++
installed. How can i get these libraries?please reply with a bit
detail, as i am new to linux so need more help.

libpq comes with the PostgreSQL installation, you dont have to explicitly
get it from anyware.
It is usually available in  /usr/local/pgsql/lib

read the documentation for compilation/linking issues:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/libpq-build.html

RedHat itself may offer an RPM package with the libpq library and
headers.

Also, libpq++ is outdated.  The new C++ interface is libpqxx, and has
been for years.  Perhaps the documentation should be fixed on this
point...
