Adacore GNATCOLL Postgres library not installing on CentOS 8

Question

I posted a question a couple of days ago regarding installing the GNATCOLL library on CentOS 8, which was kindly answered.

I have now attempted to install the gnatcoll postgres library, which I was hoping would be the same process. However, when I attempt this, I receive the following error:

Any help as to why this is happening would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Lloyd

If you're on Centos 8 a simple

sudo yum -y install libpq-devel

will set you up.
