I am trying to install and compile libpq++ i get this error

configure: error:
Can't find libpq-fe.h in . Are you sure the libpq
headers are installed correctly? They should be in the directory returned by
"pg_config --includedir".
If you do have libpq (the C-language client library for PostgreSQL) installed,
make sure you have the related development materials--mainly its header files--
as well as the library binary. Some system distributions keep the two in
seperate packages with names like "alibrary" and "alibrary-dev", respectively.
In that case, make sure you have the latter installed as well.

i have cheacked pg_config --includedir it gave me a correct path also i checked the include directory i found the requsted header file there

regards

option for the path ...../postgresql-8.x.x/src/include and try if it works

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
