A not-so wild guess here is that the library versions of postgresql and 
invocation syntax (and possibly names) of various functions has changed 
sufficiently enough betweek 7.x.x and 8.x(beta) to cause the errors 
shown below.

As a rule of thumb, most programs don't compile well along with bleeding 
edge major releases (a 'major' being one where the first digit is 
incremented) of other software with which it was previously compatible.

I suggest you downgrade PostgreSQL to latest 7.4, install 
postgresql-devel and its dependencies and try again.
