Hello everybody:

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 hope this can help you:

in /etc/profile,  i have: 
PGLIB=/usr/lib
export PGLIB

My headers are in /usr/include. There i have a libpq++.h which i
 #include.

Then, when i compile i type e.g.:

c++ test_pgsql_libpq++.cpp -o test_pgsql_libpq++ -lpq++ -lpq (Lowercase L)

If your headers are elsewhere, try -I/my_header_directory (Uppercase i ). 

I use egcs, but it doesn't differ much from gcc,  i think.

good luck
joris
