I'd grep for libpq-fe.h in Pg.xs and see what it asks for.  If it does

#include <libpq-fe.h>

then you need to point to the exact directory where the header file
lives.  if it does:

#include <something/libpq-fe.h>

you need the location of that "something" directory (my Debian stable
box with stock postgres packages has them in
/usr/include/postgresql/libpq-fe.h)  Odds are it's doing:

#include <postgresql/libpq-fe.h>

and I'd set POSTGRES_INCLUDE=/usr/include


Does this get any closer?
