Different operating systems install this file in different places.  
Here is
how I found it on a FreeBSD system:

$ locate libpq.a
/usr/local/lib/libpq.a

And running the command:

$ nm /usr/local/lib/libpq.a | grep pthread_mutex_lock
          U pthread_mutex_lock
          U pthread_mutex_lock

That's a lot of inserts to do.    It can take a while to insert 16 
million rows.

I'm not sure why you mention this... :)

Are you sure that libpq.a is not installed?  Please check again...
