If you got postgresql with apt-get source... then there are 3 files:

*.orig.tar.gz
*.diff.gz
*.dsc

The last one, postgresql_7.0.2-2.dsc, contains some description in
ASCII-text. Try a "cat postgresql_7.0.2-2.dsc" and you will see some
text which contains a line like

Build-Depends: libncurses5-dev...

This line shows you what you'll need to compile this package. Just
make a apt-get install with all packages listet in the above line and
then everything will compile fine.

BTW: In the Build-Depends tcl8.0-dev and tk8.0-dev are listed -- the
newer versions 8.2 will also do.
