Common errors and build problems
================================
One of the most common errors is trying to build psycopg without the right
development headers for PostgreSQL, Python or both. If you get errors, look
for the following messages and then take the appropriate action:
libpq-fe.h: No such file or directory
PostgreSQL headers are not properly installed on your system or are
installed in a non default path. First make sure they are installed, then
check setup.cfg and make sure pg_config points to a valid pg_config
executable. If you don't have a working pg_config try to play with the
include_dirs variable (and note that a working pg_config is better.)
