I´ve got a problem when trying to access Postgresql through C language. I´ve
copied the first example appearing in the integrated docs documentation( for
version 7.0.x). The example is the one beloww, but when I compile it I get
two problems:
Firstly, the include file "libpq-fe.h" wasn´t found. I fixed it writing the
absolute path in the #include.
Secondly, when that one was found, there were a lot of 'undefined
references' to every function in testlibpq.c. The output is the following:
/tmp/ccIKrZnW.o: In function `exit_nicely':
/tmp/ccIKrZnW.o(.text+0xe): undefined reference to `PQfinish'
/tmp/ccIKrZnW.o: In function `main':
/tmp/ccIKrZnW.o(.text+0x6d): undefined reference to `PQsetdbLogin'
/tmp/ccIKrZnW.o(.text+0x81): undefined reference to `PQstatus'
/tmp/ccIKrZnW.o(.text+0xb3): undefined reference to `PQerrorMessage'
/tmp/ccIKrZnW.o(.text+0xeb): undefined reference to `PQexec'
/tmp/ccIKrZnW.o(.text+0x105): undefined reference to `PQresultStatus'
/tmp/ccIKrZnW.o(.text+0x135): undefined reference to `PQclear'
/tmp/ccIKrZnW.o(.text+0x153): undefined reference to `PQclear'
/tmp/ccIKrZnW.o(.text+0x167): undefined reference to `PQexec'
/tmp/ccIKrZnW.o(.text+0x181): undefined reference to `PQresultStatus'
/tmp/ccIKrZnW.o(.text+0x1b1): undefined reference to `PQclear'
/tmp/ccIKrZnW.o(.text+0x1cf): undefined reference to `PQclear'
/tmp/ccIKrZnW.o(.text+0x1e3): undefined reference to `PQexec'

/tmp/ccIKrZnW.o(.text+0x32c): undefined reference to `PQclear'
/tmp/ccIKrZnW.o(.text+0x340): undefined reference to `PQexec'
/tmp/ccIKrZnW.o(.text+0x354): undefined reference to `PQclear'
/tmp/ccIKrZnW.o(.text+0x368): undefined reference to `PQexec'
/tmp/ccIKrZnW.o(.text+0x37c): undefined reference to `PQclear'
/tmp/ccIKrZnW.o(.text+0x38b): undefined reference to `PQfinish'
Please can you help me with this two problems??? Thank you
