Hello,

I'm trying to use PostgreSQL C API under Cygwin, but libpq attempts load a very
strange shared library. On run-time it states:
"error while loading shared libraries: ?: cannot open shared object file: No
such file or directory"
and yes, name of the missing shared library is literally a question mark.

To reproduce the problem, all it takes is just to use the library:

#include <libpq-fe.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
	PQconnectdb("dbname=test");
	return 0;
}

Compiled with:
gcc -o pqtest pqtest.c /usr/lib/libpq.a

What could possibly cause this? Thanks in advace.

Best regards,
Tomas Hajas
