Try something like this
$gcc -I /home/guest/pgsql/include -L /home/guest/pgsql/lib -lpq test.c

I think that postgres libraries are stored in /home/guest/pgsql/lib.

You don't have specified the path to PGLIB. createlang can't find them.
Try set environment variable PGLIB (e.g. in bash:
export PGLIB=/home/guest/pgsql/lib). Or append this path to environment
variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
