1. Libpq++ and RH5.1

   Sidney Traynham <traynham@wsp1.websp.com> — 1998-06-11T21:11:12Z

   I am trying to use Libpq++ for PG6.3.2 and Red Hat 5.1, and am having
   trouble
   compiling programs that use it.  I tried #include <libpq++.h> and didn't
   link
   and libpq dirs and I got some linker errors (not able to find such and
   such
   functions), then I tried linking the way I used to with just plain old
   libpq,
   but to avail.  Everyone says that libpq is better, but I like the C++
   interface better, and want to try to get that to work.
   
   If anyone has had any luck with libpq++ in general and could send me the
   basics on what command line options I need to use to compile and what
   header
   files to include I would greatly appreciate it.
   
   Please cc me any responses.
   
   Thanks,
   
   Sidney Traynham

   IIRC you have to include both libpq++.h as well as libpq-fe.h, and you'll 
   have to link with -lpq -lpq++ and possibly with -lcrypt
