Did you get an answer ?
I think the problem is a question of path ...
you have to add something as -L.. -pq -pq++ as parameters for your gcc
command.
I can't remember precisely, have a look in the makefile of the libpq++
directory and try to guess.
I resolved the problem of the path access copying all the headers files of
postgres 1 level of directory upper.
I'm sure there is a smarter way, but I've not yet found it.
(I hear the laughts of those who know !)
As you can see, I'm not a guru, but I'd like to help and be helped since
documentation for libpq++ is either well hidden, either simply not included.
(I think I've heard about man pages, but I was unable to find these; all
I've found is some sample progs and a makefile that won't work ...)
Is it "normal" ? Is it because of the Debian distrib & packages ?
It's not a good answer, but it's my best one.
Hope this will decide some expert to help us.

You might want to take the time to grab the full Postgres source
distribution from postgresql.org, and unpack it. The doc/ directory has
substantial html and postscript docs, and the src/man directory has some
man pages. *or*...
The html and ps docs are also available on the postgresql.org ftp site
as tar files, probably in the patch directory (rummage around one level
deep from /pub and you'll find something; I just don't remember what I
called them).
libpq++ does not suffer from an overabundance of docs, but contributions
are welcome. New info will help the next person who comes along trying
to do the same thing...
Good luck.
