You are not linking in the -lpq library, which is absolutely necessary to get things working. Make sure all the postgres development packages are installed on your system. Ideally, we should be catching this in the build process and giving a better error (added to TODO).

CPAN cannot catch such library dependencies, but we've made some hacks to the Makefile.PL to catch this and give a decent error message.

For those who might find this bug report with a google search --- exactly how does one link to that library? What must be linked to the library -- the postgres executable or something in perl?] I expect many users will have a stock binary OSX distribution, yet want to add postgres perl support.

It is linked in automatically by setting the correct environment variables before calling perl Makefile.PL, and by setting the -lpq flag. You will need to have the libpq development libraries installed, but this should be a standard part of most Postgres distributions. Not sure how OSX handles things: on other platforms, you sometimes need to manually install the "postgresql-devel" package.

Closing. We've also got some more tests in Makefile.PL now that should catch library problems earlier and offer some less confusing (and less verbose) output.
