Re: Trouble installing psycopg2 on Mac OSX 10.6

Hi Daniele,

Thanks for the prompt reply. I tried the two things you suggested. Results
are:

c4-2c-3-1-f0-3a:psycopg2-2.4.1 williamcarithers$ python setup.py install
running install
running build
running build_py
running build_ext
pg_config is set to /Library/PostgreSQL/8.4/bin <-- the print statement
error: Permission denied <-- removing the try/except

So it looks like it is getting the correct pg_config from the setup.cfg
file. Stupid question--it is looking for the executable pg_config in ./bin
and not the pg_config.h in the ./include directory, right?

Thanks,
Bill
