libpq is only one piece of postgres, and building it has to be done in
the context of the rest of the postgres build environment, you can't
just manually compile it standalone and expect sane results. before
you compile any of the postgres components, you run the ./configure
script in the top level postgres directory with the appropriate options
for your envinronment, this sets up the proper build environment,
including various libraries such as libssl and libcrypto. Your compile
failed because it didn't know where these libraries are.

if you want to just compile libpq, and not the rest of postgres, I would
first run './configure' with proper options in the top directory, then
'cd src/interfaces/libpq ' and run 'make' there.
