Package libpq was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libpq.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'libpq' found -- So libpq is not in -L/usr/local/pgsql/lib ? Do you know that libpq is installed?  You may need to use the Debian package installer to get the “dev” environment  With kindest regards, William. ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ Debian - The universal operating system ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋⠀ https://www.debian.org ⠈⠳⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀
