William,

I'd suggest you look closely at what gets set for the following lines in
your Makefile:

# Optional PostGIS Support.  See http://postgis.refractions.net/
POSTGIS=      -DUSE_POSTGIS
POSTGIS_LIB=  -L/usr/lib/postgresql/8.0/lib -lpq
POSTGIS_INC=  -I/usr/include/postgresql

Also, the most important thing to see is the compile line for mappostgis
and the first few errors.  I'd like to confirm that -DUSE_POSTGIS is on
the compile line, and see if any include files are reporting as not
found.
I am guessing that pg-config is not returning appropriate configuration
information for your setup, and that this is causing libpq-fe.h to not
be
found.

Best regards,

Frank,

Thanks for responding. You were right about pg-config not returning
appropriate configuration information. I made the changes to the
Makefile, pointing to the existing /lib and /include directories for my
installation of postgresql (e.g. /usr/local/pgsql). When I run make
again, it gets a little further along, and then throws the following
errors:

g++ -O2 -fPIC -Wall   -DNEED_NONBLOCKING_STDERR   -DHAVE_VSNPRINTF
-DNEED_STRLCAT  -DUSE_EPPL -DUSE_PROJ -DUSE_WMS_SVR -DUSE_WMS_LYR
-DUSE_WFS_SVR -DUSE_WFS_LYR -DUSE_WCS_SVR      -DUSE_GD_GIF -DUSE_GD_PNG

The Makefile reference to GEOS is:

# Optional GEOS Support.
# See http://geos.refractions.net/
GEOS=     -DUSE_GEOS
GEOS_LIB=  -L/usr/local/geos/lib -lgeos_c
GEOS_INC=  -I/usr/local/geos/include

Thank you, W
