Re:

Thanks. I assume this means I should have a file on my system named libpq. If so, I can't find it. Where should it be located? If I don't have it, where can I get it? Is there an rpm somewhere that has development libraries? I have checked out the rpms on my redhat cd's and I can't find it there either.

Also, should my command look like this?

gcc -Wall -o test1 test1.c -lpq

I have the include file. It is in /usr/include/pgsql/libpq-fe.h.

Thanks again.
