I had the same problem.  You need to use the flag
--with-postgres-includes={path_to_pgsql_headers}

I also had to use this flag:
--with-mxdatetime-includes={path_to_mxdatetime_headers}

On Mandrake 9.2, it put the postgresql headers in /usr/include/pgsql/.  The 
mxdatetime header was in 
/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/mx/DateTime/mxDateTime/
Your's should be somewhere around there, right?
