Look for the files libpq.h and also libpq-fe??? something like that. Those
are the PostgreSQL headers (.h) and libraires (.so) You'll have to have
those for pg_connect to work. When PHP is built it needs to know where
those are (in path with other includes and libraries? or something else
(/usr/local?/opt/postgre)).
