I've also checked
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.4/interactive/libpq-exec.html
and PQprepare() isn't mentioned there at all.
Wasn't it provided in PostgreSQL version 7?
Is there a way to workaround it?
Maybe by using pqPrepareAsyncResult()?
And how could I #ifdef in my libpq-program, to
detect an older PostgreSQL version? The headers
/usr/include/postgresql/libpq-fe.h and
/usr/include/postgresql/postgres_ext.h
don't have any PG_VERSION or similar define...

There are very few hits for the "undefined reference PQprepare"
on Google (which I take a good sign :-)
Does anybody have an idea please, what could I be doing wrong?
Why doesn't objdump find PQprepare, but finds PQconnectdb?
$ objdump -x /usr/lib/libpq.a | grep -i PQconnectdb
00000000 g F .text 00000042 PQconnectdb
Thank you

PS: And here is the code failing to link (my server/pgsql.c)
probably nothing special:

"and user_id = $1 and user_password = $2 and user_id not in " \
"(select ban_userid from phpbb_banlist where ban_userid is not null)"
......
static void

{
PQreset(conn);
if (PQstatus(conn) != CONNECTION_OK) {
warn("Connection to db '%s' failed: %s",
DB_CONN_STR, PQerrorMessage(conn));

}
db_prepare("sql_fetch_user", SQL_FETCH_USER, 2);
