I was trying this example program out of a well known postgresql book and keep
getting errors whenever I try to compile.
Error messages ##make client1

-o client1.o client1.c
cc -g client1.o -L /usr/lib -L /usr/lib/pgsql -o client1

following are the rpms I have installed on a RHEL5 system.
postgresql-plperl-8.2.4-1PGDG
postgresql-contrib-8.2.4-1PGDG
postgresql-python-8.1.9-1.el5
postgresql-docs-8.2.4-1PGDG
postgresql-server-8.2.4-1PGDG
postgresql-devel-8.2.4-1PGDG
postgresql-8.2.4-1PGDG
postgresql-plpython-8.2.4-1PGDG
compat-postgresql-libs-4-2PGDG.rhel4
postgresql-libs-8.2.4-1PGDG
postgresql-pltcl-8.2.4-1PGDG
Yes I see the compat one and will install rhel5 if I find one.
