Linking Errors

Hello I am having problems linking to the libpq++ libraries. I tried compiling the the program below that I found in the archive just like
it said
c++ test3.cpp -o test3 -lpq -lpq++

But I get messages like the following:

/usr/lib/qt/include/qarray.h(.gnu.linkonce.t__tf10PgDatabase+0xd): undefined
reference to 'PgConnection type_info function

Before I had to specify the location of the libpq++.h file until I used
the I switch or else it would say the file was not found.

c++ test3.cpp -o test3 -I/usr/lib/pgsql/include -lpq -lpq++

So I have a couple of questions

1. How do I fix the linking error?
2. When I set the -lpq and -lpq++ I know it is suppose to be including those
libraries but do I need to tell the system where those libraries are? How does
it know?

Please HELP!! :-)
Thanks,
Mike
