Unable to build: missing -lpq

I've got a rust app that uses postgres, my nixpacks.toml has the following

[phases.build]
nixPkgs = ['libpqxx']

[phases.build]
nixPkgs = ['libpqxx']

And I get the following error

cannot find -lpq: No such file or directory

cannot find -lpq: No such file or directory

Can anyone assist with this? I got around it previously by simply writing my own Dockerfile, but I wanted to see if I could use the nixpacks toml instead
