[Pgpool-general] Problem running the command ./configure

Tue Nov 23 21:29:26 UTC 2010

Hi I am following step by step tutorial is at:
http://pgpool.projects.postgresql.org/contrib_docs/simple_sr_setting/

I have a PC in Ubuntu 10.4 in Spanish, finished formatting and only have 
installed the Postgresql 9.0.1, installed it visually, and was installed 
in the /opt/PostgreSQL.
I follow the tutorial steps to the part that says ./configure and I get 
the following error:

configure: error: libpq is not installed or libpq is old
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Do I have to install something else before installing the PGPool? 
Whatever you have to install would be helpful because I am new to this 
and I have no experience.

How do I recognize pg_config?

How do I fix the error "configure: error: libpq is not installed or 
libpq is old?
