To answer that question properly I would need a very large slab of 
output from all sorts of various commands, detailed information about 
your system and most likely more time than I'm willing to spend.

For short though;
Make sure you have the postgresql development files. They're usually in 
postgresql-devel or equivalent if you installed some sort of package, or 
installed by default in /usr/local/postgres/{lib,include} in case you 
installed from source.

Make sure you have a decently recent copy of the postgresql development 
environment.

Obviously not. It hasn't been magically removed from all previous 
versions that supported it.

I'll help you if you want me to, but it's going to cost you $160/hour. 
I'll need root access to the system and also a signed work order before 
I can start working.
