Hi Matt,
A couple of thoughts:
1. Head for <http://packages.ubuntu.com/> -- there is a form where you
can search for which package has a particular file you need.
2. Do you really need to build PostgreSQL yourself? Ubuntu has a very
nice 8.1 package already, and I believe even a PostGIS package as well
in Edgy.
Good luck,
Reid
