Which files did you install? The required header files seem to be
postgres_ext.h and libpq-fe.h (see src/global/dict_pgsql.c), and
the "-lpq" part of the suggested make(1) command suggests that the
necessary shared library is named libpq-<something>.so.

How you obtain the actual files doesn't change the fact that CentOS is
your distribution.
Unless you feel confident in what you're doing, perhaps using a source
RPM would be preferable to building Postfix from source (obviously
lacking a binary Postfix package with PostgreSQL support).
Please do not top-post.
