libpq-fe.h should be in the PostGRES 'devel' packages.  Make sure you 
have those installed.

address@hidden:~$ rpm -qa | grep postgres
postgresql-server-7.0.3-2
postgresql-python-7.0.3-2
postgresql-odbc-7.0.3-2
postgresql-devel-7.0.3-2
postgresql-7.0.3-2
address@hidden:~$


postgresql-devel-7.x.x-x should be where it resides...

In fact you can find it here 
(http://rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/redhat/7.2/i386/postgresql-devel-7.1.3-2.i386.html) 
and it confirms that it contains libpq-fe.h
