It's caused by libpq problem. Re-emerge libpq should fix the problem. Can you re-emrge libpq, then libpqxx again please?
A re-emerge of libpq and then libpqxx did resolve it. They both installed properly, thanks. I'm not going to close the bug though, assuming it's been delegated to the appropriate person for dissection. Thanks!
I am getting a similar error: configure: error: Can't find libpq-fe.h in /usr/include/postgresql/pgsql. Are you sure the libpq headers are installed correctly? They should be in the directory returned by "pg_config --includedir". If you do have libpq (the C-language client library for PostgreSQL) installed, make sure you have the related development materials--mainly its header files-- as well as the library binary. Some system distributions keep the two in seperate packages with names like "alibrary" and "alibrary-dev", respectively. In that case, make sure you have the latter installed as well. !!!

It seems that this problem occurs when libpq-7* and libpq-8* are installed together: The slotting of those is broken, we recently introduced dependency-blockers which should avoid this problem.
