Here is the code:
#include "libpq-fe.h"

#ifndef HDBUTIL
#define HDBUTIL

class DBConn
{
public:
PGconn pg_conn;
bool Connect();
bool Disconnect();
};

#endif

... and here is the make error:

tux tb # make
g++ -Wall -g -o0 -lpq -I/usr/include/postgresql/libpq-4 server.cpp
db_util.cpp player.cpp -o tbserver.exe -L/usr/lib64 `wx-config --

PGconn pg_conn;

You probably want that to be "PGconn *pg_conn;"

db_util.h:11: error: field 'pg_conn' has incomplete type

libpq doesn't expose the struct type PGconn, only pointers to it.
