The advice printed by configure was to look into config.log for the cause
of the failure. There you should have seen a message indicating which
file was missing and you could have used, say, rpmfind to figure out which
package you had to install.

We cannot really get into the business of tracking where every version of
every operating system hides its files. If you don't want to bother doing
that yourself, then a packaged version of PostgreSQL may be right for you.
