The files for which "configure" checks are:

a) libpq-fe.h, and
b) either postgres.h or postgres_fe.h

If you are using a package from your OS vendor, then the files will
probably be in a subdirectory of /usr/include. E.g. RedHat 6.2 puts
them in /usr/include/pgsql.

You will need to have installed the appropriate "development" package,
e.g. "postgresql-devel" for RedHat 6.2.

If libpq-fe.h and postgres.h/postgres_fe.h are in different
directories, you need to specify both directories, separated by a
space; you will need to enclude the argument in quotes, e.g.

./configure --with-postgres-includes='/usr/include/pgsql /usr/include/pgsql/internal'
