Folks - I could use a hand here - I'm trying to compile the PoPy module for python so I can use the ZPoPyDA to connect to my PostgreSQL database. I keep getting the same compile error - gcc - shared PoPymodule.o -lpq -o PoPymodule.so /usr/i486-suse-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lpq I have compiled other binaries on this machine, including Zope 2.2. Python runs fine, I just don't know enough about ld to understand the error. (I get the same error trying to compile ZPyGreSQLDA. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. - Steve __________________________________________________________________ Get your Private, Anti-Spam, Free Email at http://e3mil.com and Step into a Friendly Universe!

-Find libpq.so on your machine. -Edit the last? (going from memory) line of Makefile, adding -L/directory/that/holds/your_libpq (just the directory, not the filename) right before -lpq There is certainly a more elegant way to do the same, but it worked for me.
