I highly recommend using the latest driver, as we don't release minor
version updates for older ones. The latest driver also works with older
servers.

The latest version of the driver requires libpq from PostgreSQL 9.2 or
newer.

I'm not sure why that didn't work for you. You can point --with-libpq to
either the base directory that contains the "lib" and "include" subdirs,
or to the pg_config binary, in which case configure will call pg_config
to get the those paths. Pointing it to pg_config is usually more robust,
so I'd suggest trying:

/configure --with-libpq=/usr/pgsql-9.2/bin/pg_config
