libpq++ compiling errors...

Hello again,

Okay, now that I have some time to concentrate on getting programs using
the libpq and/or libpq++ to compile I will try this message again. I am
using PostgreSQL 7.1.3, glibc-2.2.4-19.3 and gcc-2.96-85. Any time I try
to compile a program that uses the libpq or the libpq++ headers or
libraries i get errors. When I installed PostgreSQL i used both make
install, and make install-all-headers to ensure that all the header
files were copied to the system and I did both the commands as root. I
have included some of the output I get when I try compiling different
ways.

The first example is when I try to run make in the libpq++/examples
directory.

g++ -I/usr/local/pgsql/include -o testlibpq0 testlibpq0.cc

make: *** [testlibpq0] Error 1

The second set of errors is after I manually copy the libpq++ header
file dir to /usr/local/pgsql/include/ and try to run make again. I am
not sure why but the command "make install-all-headers" did not put the
libpq++ headers into the pgsql/include. If anyone has any reasons why
this might be I would be more than happy to learn.

I could give many more examples where I try linking in or including the
libraries by hand, etc...but it all comes out basically the same way. I
get one of two types of errors, either it cannot fine the included
header files, or it lists errors from them. That is just the libpq++. I
will now move on to my dealings with libpq, which are much the same.

This is an example when i try to make in the src/test/examples
directory.

I have not actually tried to write any programs myself because I cannot
even get the example programs to compile so I do not see the point. If
anyone has any idea what might be going wrong, or what I may not be
understanding correctly I would be very grateful for your help. Even if
it turns out I'm just being stupid and missing something, I don't mind
finding that out. I just want to be able to compile programs that use
either the libpq or the libpq++.

Thanks

Isaac
