You are not telling us how you run scons. So the first obvious question is:

Are you just doing?
$ python scons/scons.py
# python scons/scons.py install


Or are you telling it where to look for the libraries?
$ python scons/scons.py PGSQL_INCLUDES=/usr/include/postgresql ...
# python scons/scons.py install PGSQL_INCLUDES=/usr/include/postgresql ...
