One possibility is that you have it, but it is in a directory that is not on you path. Try:
find / -name pg_config 2> /dev/null If this finds the executable, you can add the directory your current invocation of the shell (It will be gone when you log out and back in) to do the pip install. But you may not find it, in which case you need to install the PostgreSQL "development" package (xxx-dev on deb based systems, xxx-devel on .rpm based systems, for other systems you will need to do your own research). Having installed it, you will still probably have to do the steps above. All this can be found using google.
