I have not installed this on my mac in a while, but my guess is that
while these variables are set in you environment, they are not
available in R for some reason.
You could check whether they are set in the session by looking at
Sys.getenv()
If they are not there, I would try setting them directly in your R
session before installing. I think you would do that with:
Sys.setenv("PG_LIB_DIR"="/usr/local/pgsql/lib")
Sys.setenv("PG_INCLUDE_DIR"="/usr/local/pgsql/include")
But I could be off on whether the variable names need to be quoted.
