Right on target. Turns out the previous administrator of this
machine attempted to install an old version of Postgres (before I took
over and put on a newer one), and apparently decided it would be best
for the include files to reside directly in /usr/include. Thus, my
compilations were using that old postgres.h, leading to the problem.
