Looks strange, but that's how the C++ of the future is supposed to look
like...  ;-)  Looks like this future hasn't begun for your machine yet. ;-)

Well, more seriously: If you don't need libpq++ for any homegrown or
third party PostgreSQL applications, I think the easiest solution for
you is to simply suppress the creation of libpq++ by ./configure-ing
with --without-CXX.

If you don't have the stylish new C++ header files installed on your
machine, it seems to me that nobody will miss libpq++ anyway.
