Re: Can not find -lpq

It looks like it's having problems finding where your shared objects,
archives, etc. are located. They should be under <postgresql path>/lib
or wherever you installed them.

Try:

c++ -g -O2 -o everestserver main.o -L <postgresql path>/lib -lpq

I don't know what your makefile looks like, but you may want to be sure
that it includes any of your header file directories as well with
something like:

c++ -I <postgre include directory> -g -O2 -o everestserver main.o -L
<postgresql path>/lib -lpq

Also, be sure to set your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to your
postgre library path.

(csh, tcsh shells)
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH ${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/<postgresql path>/lib

OR

(sh, ksh, bash shells)
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/<postgresql path>/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Thanks.
