I'm interested in using the libpq programming interface, but I can't seem to compile any of the 'C' samples that came with the package. I tried to compile the /sample makefile, but I get the following error "ld: No such file or directory for libipc". I tried to compile some of my own stuff and got into a nightmare in misplaced include files. I'm very green to programming in a unix environment ( I grew up in the polished Borland C++ World ), so unix makefiles are new to me. Three Questions... 1: Is there a problem with my installation ( even though I have no problem with the raw database monitor interface) 2: Is there a problem with the makefiles 3: Are there libpq programming interfaces for other languages (Perl!!) Could someone please help me with this.( maybe some simple source and a makefile). Thanks... -Tim Smith
