[postgis-users] WKT raster installation on mac

I'm still getting stuck with this installation.  I specified the libdir, but note that libpq is not in this directory.  The path for libpq is "/Library/PostgreSQL/8.4/include" which is distinct from the other code libraries in "/Library/PostgreSQL/8.4/lib"  I'm copying the directory contents so you can clearly see what's included in each.

configure: error: could not find libpq
user-d0c71a:wktraster-0.1.6d langleys$ cd ../include/
user-d0c71a:include langleys$ ls
ecpg_config.h		pg_config.h		pgtypes_numeric.h
ecpg_informix.h		pg_config_i386.h	pgtypes_timestamp.h
ecpgerrno.h		pg_config_manual.h	postgres_ext.h
ecpglib.h		pg_config_os.h		postgresql
ecpgtype.h		pg_config_ppc.h		sql3types.h
libpq			pgtypes_date.h		sqlca.h
libpq-events.h		pgtypes_error.h
libpq-fe.h		pgtypes_interval.h
user-d0c71a:include langleys$ 

user-d0c71a:include langleys$ cd ../lib
user-d0c71a:lib langleys$ ls
libecpg.6.1.dylib		libpq.dylib
libecpg.6.dylib			libproj.0.5.5.dylib
libecpg.a			libproj.0.dylib
libecpg.dylib			libproj.dylib

libpgtypes.3.dylib		libxslt.a
libpgtypes.a			libxslt.dylib
libpgtypes.dylib		libxslt.la
libpq.5.2.dylib			postgis-1.4.so
libpq.5.dylib			postgresql
libpq.a
user-d0c71a:lib langleys$ 

on the first line, you can clearly see that no matter which path I select for "libdir" the configure script cannot find "libpq".  Any ideas?

Regards,
Shaun
