There should be a way to list a package's contents; do so and look
for files with libpq in their name (libpq.a, libpq.so, etc.) or use
a command like "find" or "locate" to search your filesytem. Also
look for the libpq-fe.h header file.

See the libpq documentation for your version of PostgreSQL. Here's
a link for 8.1:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/interactive/libpq.html
If you're new to PostgreSQL then you'll benefit from reading
other parts of the documentation such as "Tutorial" and "Server
Administration."
