Re: Can't link to libpq

Tom

The problem is that I am not sucessfully linking to libpq.so.  I have run
out of ideas and neeed help.

The "fprint" was a typo and is now fixed.

I didn't "cut & paste" my error messages.  I retyped my errror message and
made a typo in "pqstatus", but the actual error message has "PQstatus".

None of the functions in libpq.so are linking.  I removed all of the code in
example 1-1 except the parts to open and close the connection, so I didn't
get a link error on PQexec because I had chopped it out to come up with a
simpler example.  If I type in the complete example, I get more link errors.
