I ran into this some days ago. The problem is not related to the
distribution you downloaded, but to missing information about PostgreSQL
itself.
IIRC the file in question is "/usr/bin/pg_config". The file is
probably packaged
in some lib*-dev package on your distribution.
That's the most common install problem with psycopg2 -- setup.py can't
find (or execute) pg_config which it needs to decide how to talk to
Postgres. I remember it giving a different (and more descriptive)
error but I haven't used psycopg2 recently.
To the OP: if executing pg_config fails from the same command line in
which you're running setup.py, then Wolodja is absolutely correct. You
need to get pg_config on your path somewhere, or there might be an
environment variable you can set to tell setup where to find it if you
don't want it in your path.
Good luck
Philip
