I have SQLdb component installed in Lazarus 0.9.24 beta x86_64-linux-gtk on Ubuntu 64 bit linux. I tried running mysql but get an error which needs FPC 2.2.3 or later. I can only find RPM files for that source and I can't install it. I can download FPC.zip and compile that source but it turns out to be still FPC 2.2.2, which is what I was running.
I think PostgreSQL database system has better record locking and other functions that make it superior to MYSQL, so rather than spend time on finding an FPC source 2.2.3 or later that I can make compile I thought I would try Postgress. I opened a new project and placed a PQConnection on Form1, set host name as localhost, username as postgres with no password. When I set Connected to "TRUE" I get the following error. Can not load PosgreSQL client. Is it installed? (libpq.so) I can't find a file called libpq.so anywhere on my system. Did a search of components and can't find anything under PostgreSQL. I have PostgreSQL running and can access it using psql. How do I install PostgreSQL client?
