Re: How to install psycopg2 using Pip?

Guys, I have a similar problem but the difference is pg_config is actually in my PATH:

$ which pg_config
/usr/pgsql-9.1/bin/pg_config

I get the following error when I try to pip install psychopg2

###################
Error: pg_config executable not found.



Please add the directory containing pg_config to the PATH

or specify the full executable path with the option:



    python setup.py build_ext --pg-config /path/to/pg_config build ...



or with the pg_config option in 'setup.cfg'.

----------------------------------------
Command python setup.py egg_info failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build/psycopg2

###################

I tried adding pg_config path to the setup.cfg file and build it using the source files I downloaded from their website and I get the following error message!

Error: Unable to find 'pg_config' file in '/usr/pgsql-9.1/bin/'


But it is actually THERE!!!

I am baffled by these errors. Can anyone help please?

By the way, I sudo all the commands. Also I am RHEL 5.5.

Yeah, that's the easiest method, but you specifically wanted to know
how to install it with pip. That way you have to install the module
manually. But it works. ;o)
