CentOS probably has PostgreSQL in their RPM repository. If so, I would
recommend that you install that via RPM, and get a SRPM for Postfix.
Simon Mudd has Postfix SRPMs whereby you can simply set your choices in
the spec file and rpmbuild(1) it.
I only ever did one RHEL machine, and it was long ago, but that is how
I did it.

The "local/" path element will not be correct for most (if not all)
distributor-provided packages of PostgreSQL. You might, however, need
to have "*-devel" packages installed. See your CentOS / RHEL
documentation.
