I am trying to use Libpq++ for PG6.3.2 and Red Hat 5.1, and am having

compiling programs that use it. I tried #include <libpq++.h> and didn't
link
and libpq dirs and I got some linker errors (not able to find such and
such
functions), then I tried linking the way I used to with just plain old
libpq,
but to avail. Everyone says that libpq is better, but I like the C++
interface better, and want to try to get that to work.

If anyone has had any luck with libpq++ in general and could send me the
basics on what command line options I need to use to compile and what
header
files to include I would greatly appreciate it.

IIRC you have to include both libpq++.h as well as libpq-fe.h, and you'll
have to link with -lpq -lpq++ and possibly with -lcrypt
