Install issue with database package

[jlandercy]

Hello,

I am facing a problem with the installation of the database package of
Ocatve.
I am using Octave 3.2.4 on Ubuntu 11.10.
I have read documentation but there might be something I missed.

I cannot succeed installing the database package.
I have already installed swig and I am using PostgreSQL 9.1.
I get no error when I perform : pkg install database-1.0.4.tar.gz

But the command postgres_db remains unknown to Octave.
I read more, seeking for solution and I tried:

pkg -verbose install database-1.0.4.tar.gz
Which gave me the following output:

mkdir (/tmp/oct-UGJeRB)
untar (/home/database-1.0.4.tar.gz, /tmp/oct-UGJeRB)

find . -name NOINSTALL -print    # shows which toolboxes won't be installed

make: Rien à faire pour « all ».
make: quittant le répertoire « /tmp/oct-UGJeRB/database-1.0.4/src »

Obviously there is a binding issue.
The script seems seeking for a file postgresql/libpq-fe.h, which is not
registered or even present on my hdd.
Have I forgotten something before performing pkg command ?
Or is this a PostgreSQL version issue, must I downgrade to 8.4 ?

Thanks for your help,

Landercy Jean
