pgpool-general is the perfect place for this kind of questions.

Do you have pg_config command in your command search path?  If so, you
do not need to specify --with-pgsql nor --with-pgsql-libdir. Just
./configure should work.

Or something like:

PGCONFIG=/path/to/pgconfig/pg_config ./configure

Should work as well.
