database,because the database runs on another host, so I need only the library.
iibpqxx is a seperate project, and is a C++ binding for libpq.
libpq is part of the postgres server package, and is built when you
build the server. it shares a bunch of data definitions need by the
protocol handler. you should go ahead and build the full server
package, but then just use the library.
in general, its better to use the packaged shared library that's
distributed with or for your target operating system
