You might have a packaged version available - worth searching for it
perhaps.

Failing that, try the following:

cd /path/to/postgresql_autodoc
./configure
make
su -
make install

That will probably install under /usr/local/postgresql_autodoc/...

The ./configure stage will tell you if you need any other
modules/libraries etc. If you can find a package it should take care of
this for you.
