[GIS] Can’t find libpq when installing PostGIS

postgis

I'm trying to install PostGIS 2.2.1 on Mac OS X 10.8. I've installed all of the prerequisites for PostGIS and am now running the configure command:

./configure CC=/usr/bin/clang CXX=/usr/bin/clang++ "CFLAGS=-arch x86_64 -arch i386" "LDFLAGS=-arch x86_64 -arch i386" "CXXFLAGS=-arch x86_64 -arch i386"

I'm getting the following error:

configure: error: could not find libpq

I have PostgreSQL 9.1.4 installed and I believe I see the libpq libraries which is owned by root:wheel:

/usr/local/pgsql/lib/libpq.5.4.dylib
/usr/local/pgsql/lib/libpq.5.dylib
/usr/local/pgsql/lib/libpq.a
/usr/local/pgsql/lib/libpq.dylib

I did the following but it didn't help:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/pgsql/lib

This too in case PostGIS just needs to know where Postgres is installed:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/pgsql

Finally, I ran this command with and without sudo:

./configure CC=/usr/bin/clang CXX=/usr/bin/clang++ "CFLAGS=-arch x86_64 -arch i386" "LDFLAGS=-arch x86_64 -arch i386" "CXXFLAGS=-arch x86_64 -arch i386" "LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/pgsql/lib"

What am I doing wrong? I found another post here where someone else had the same problem but the solutions noted there didn't work for me.

Thanks!

UPDATE:
I'm looking in the PostGIS config.log file and can at least see why the error is occurring. I just don't quite understand what to do to prevent it.

ld: warning: ignoring file /usr/local/pgsql/lib/libpq.dylib, file was built for unsupported file format ( 0xcf 0xfa 0xed 0xfe 0x 7 0x 0 0x 0 0x 1 0x 3 0x 0 0x 0 0x 0 0x 6 0x 0 0x 0 0x 0 ) which is not the architecture being linked (i386): /usr/local/pgsql/lib/libpq.dylib

I finally solved the problem by deleting the postgis directory and re-running the commands without any of the command line arguments (CFLAGS, etc.) shown in my initial question. I did the following:

./configure
make
sudo make install
make clean

I found the "make clean" command while researching the problem. This command causes the library to run a bunch of tests that validates the installation. Today I'll be testing my installation but right now, everything appears to be OK.
