compiling or installing? If you install,
via apt-get install postgresql-8.1, there is no "problem with
compiling" but rather the chance of a depency problem which you
better report to the debian staff (or the package maintainer).

If you really build from source, you need the respective -dev
package of the libs postgres needs. In your case, its

libreadline5-dev - GNU readline and history libraries, development files

since the header files are needed during the linking.
