You probably haven't installed the library yet. The examples and the
library are in separate subdirectories, and Linux's dynamic library
loader doesn't know where to find it. Linux will only look in a few
very specific places for the library, and ../lib is not one of them. :)
If you want to test the library before you formally install it, use a
command like this:
$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=../lib ./simple1 localhost someuser hispassword
That clues the dynamic loader that ../lib should also be searched for
libraries.
Otherwise, just install the library, and the examples should run without
any jiggery-pokery.
