This is my first attempt at using libpq, and I'm running across a strange
problem. Here is my bare-bones program:
#include
#include "libpq-fe.h"

PGconn *conn;
fprintf(stderr, "connecting\n");
conn = PQconnectdb("dbname=postgres");
PQfinish(conn);
retur

Yes, I used the same compilation command line for both versions:
gcc -o pq_test -I"C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.3\include" -L"

Aha! This tip has led to the solution. I had been running the program from
an emacs shell buffer. If I run it from the Windows console or by
