In 8.3 it's directly in the lib directory. thats because the whole
thing is built with VC++ now, so it's the default rather than an
alternative to the mingw libraries.

If it's missing in 8.2.5, my guess is that you didn't select the
Development Files option when you installed.

TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to
choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not
match
