I experieced problems with programming interfaces into PostgreSQL 6.5.3
(Machine: Red Hat 6.2 Standard Edition - Sucessfully Installation). I
installed this software from sources and I configure tcl and odbc extensions
and php module for Web Development and it works fine!.
But, I need create a GUI-Based Client Program in C or C++ (with GTK or
Tcl/Tk)....
I tried to compile the examples about Programming Interfaces (libpq, libpq++)
from published book about postgres but it returns an error for each call to
library "libpq-fe.h".
I don´t know if the problem is about enviroment variables (I programming as
root and/or Postgres user) or is the compilation instruction (gcc -o program.c
program.o)
Please, help me with any tip about compilation instruction for Postgres
developments and/or enviroment or another problem that you guess. ;-)
Thanks in advance. -

What error? Is it file not found?... This from a Jan 3 message:
-> make produces an error message saying "libpq-fe.h: No such file or
-> directory". I have found documentation around the Internet saying that
-> this file is required by programs using libpq.so but have not been able
-> to find where I can get this header file from!!

-Make sure you have the 'postgresql-devel' RPM installed, and set
-POSTGRES_INCLUDE to /usr/include/pgsql.
So, make sure you have the 'postgresql-devel' RPM installed.

I would suggest not programming as root.

try gcc -o program program.c -I/usr/include/pgsql -lpq
You need the -lpq to tell the linker to reference libpq.so for the
postgresql calls.
(and get rid of the .c in your output target unless you want to overwrite
your source code)
Richard.
