Do you have the PostgreSQL libpq and its header files?  The build, so
far, is failing because the "libpq-fe.h" header file for the PostgreSQL
library is not found in any of the -I/* directories, the current
directory and probably a few others like /usr/include, etc...

If PostgreSQL is installed in someplace like /opt, use the ./configure
directives so the compiler can know where to look.
