This may or may not be necessary, but if you do it you need to run
'ldconfig' in order for it to take effect.

You need to add a -L flag to the compile so gcc looks in the right
place for libraries.  Also, the '-lpq' should go *after* your source
file name.  So:

gcc -o egtry egtry.c -L/usr/lib/pgsql-7.2 -lpq 

That should get you a lot closer to working.
