of postgresql installed...
libecpg-dev - development files for ECPG (Embedded PostgreSQL for C)
libecpg4 - run-time library for ECPG programs
libpq3 - PostgreSQL C client library
postgresql - object-relational SQL database management system
postgresql-client - front-end programs for PostgreSQL
postgresql-dev - development files for libpq (PostgreSQL library)
