cannot "make USE_PGXS=1" b/c no pgxs.mk exists

Greetings
I'm trying to set up Cybertec's ODBC_LINK program
(http://www.cybertec.at/download/odbc_link/2010_03_16_odbc_link.pdf )
so I can read MS-SQL data into my Postgresql 8.4.8 database. I'm using
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Server.

Their build instructions say to Compile the module using make USE_PGXS=1.
When I run that I get:

postgres@dev-postgres-1:~/ODBC-Link-1.0.4$ make USE_PGXS=1
Makefile:12: /usr/lib/postgresql/8.4/lib/pgxs/src/makefiles/pgxs.mk: No such
file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target
`/usr/lib/postgresql/8.4/lib/pgxs/src/makefiles/pgxs.mk'.  Stop.
postgres@dev-postgres-1:~/ODBC-Link-1.0.4$

VERSION = PostgreSQL 8.4.8

I had to manually install the libpq-dev library and manually create a folder
for ' /usr/lib/postgresql/8.4/lib/pgxs/src/makefiles/" but I don't have a
pgxs.mk file to paste into that "makefiles" folder.

Why are the PGXS files / folders not automatically created for me?

If someone knows an easier way to read directly from a MS-SQL table or view
into a Postgres function I'd love to know about it!

Help!

Maybe you have to install the software package that contains
PostgreSQL's
development environment.

Thanks for your reply

yes I did install libpq-dev, which was installed (instead) when I tried to
run this in Ubuntu 10.04LTS:
Sudo apt-get install postgresql-dev
It gave a message that postgresql-dev was replaced by libpq-dev...

But that installation did not install the files including
/usr/lib/postgresql/8.4/lib/pgxs/src/makefiles/pgxs.mk
