It's been a while, but I remember this problem too on my RedHat install.

On my RH install, the file is at: /usr/include/pgsql/libpq-fe.h

But the program reads:

#include "libpq-fe.h" ##note no absolute path

Maybe you need a -I option on the compiler command pointing to the
directory that contains "libpq-fe.h" ?? See '-I' option in man gcc.
