That could be a problem as that is what the make is using below. That
means it is working on the DEB installed locations not the EDB ones. You
sure there is not a pg_config in the EDB install?

Well in the above /usr/include/postgresql/9.6/server is pointing at the
DEB installed directory. Pretty sure I remember that is not where the
EDB installed files are. If you want to compile against the EDB install
you will need to find its pg_config, that is what drives the make
process. If you do find it, then you can do something like this(borrowed
form pglogical):

PATH=<path to EDB pg_config>:$PATH make USE_PGXS=1 clean all
sudo PATH+<path to EDB pg_config>:$PATH make USE_PGXS=1 install
