Thanks for the reply

I did the postgresql install using well-known package from Marc Liyanage:

http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/

I have tried specifying library path when invoking extconf.rb, using 
this syntax:

ruby extconf.rb --with-pgsql-include-dir=/usr/local/pgsql/include \ 
--with-pgsql-lib-dir=/usr/local/pgsql/lib

...but I still get the same error that it can't find the postgres libs, 
although I have verified that the libraries in question are present in 
the specified location.
