Are you compiling legacy embedded SQL, or are you developing new code?
Embedded SQL was one of those bad ideas that existed because there was
nothing better at the time. Nowadays I'd recommend using either ODBC
(see unixodbc, unixodbc-bin, unixodbc-dev, and odbc-postgresql) or
something like Qt's DB support.
If you must use embedded SQL, the libecpg-dev package includes/depends on
the necessary libraries, headers, and ESQL preprocessor (ecpg).
