The standard placing for the files is /usr/lib for libpq and
/usr/include for the header files.

These paths should be standard search paths for gcc

I believe the linux installs have these files as part of the devel
install - the postgresql-devel-xxx rpm - you will need to install that.

If you have done a manual setup and build from source then /usr would be
replaced with the prefix path used (./configure --prefix=...)
eg. /usr/local/pgsql/lib is a common one.

For gcc HEADER_SEARCH_PATHS is used for headers and LIBRARY_SEARCH_PATHS
for libs. Or -I can be used as an option to gcc and -L with ld when
linking. eg gcc -I /usr/local/pgsql/include myprog.c

Thanks Shane, I appreciate your help.
I have installed postgresql on windows and there is no /urs/lib and
/urs/include folder in this installation. Can you please tell me
why is that and what is the difference in the windwos and
linux intallations

With windows the include files and libraries are an optional extra.

I think the older installer was setup a bit different - you may need to
select custom install. When you get to install options you will find
Development at the bottom of the list, here you can select to have the
include files and libraries installed.

You will find them in the same folder as the other files installed.
This is in normally C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.x
