downloaded the source and rebuilt. make died at the same place. Yet
the old install does have libpq++ in place.
6.4.2 was orignally compiled by another developer here. So I don't know
if he had the same problem and used the same hack to get past it, or if
there was a difference in his environment settings (or something has
been upgraded in between times - it seems we may have been on Solaris 6
when 6.4.2 was last compiled, for instance)
I'll talk to the developer when he gets in, but this tack may be a dead
end.
