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.
