Hi, I'm a newbie in postgresql, would like to know how to access database
using libpq. I found example code on postgresql's site, however i'm not able
to execute the code it always giving me an error.
I hope anyone could explain to me how to fix this.
Thank you.

The code:
/*
* testlibpq2.c
* Test of the asynchronous notification interface
*
* Start this program, then from psql in another window do
* NOTIFY TBL2;
*
* Or, if you want to get fancy, try this:
* Populate a database with the following:
*
* CREATE TABLE TBL1 (i int4);
*
* CREATE TABLE TBL2 (i int4);
*
* CREATE RULE r1 AS ON INSERT TO TBL1 DO
* (INSERT INTO TBL2 values (new.i); NOTIFY TBL2);
*
* and do
*
* INSERT INTO TBL1 values (10);
