Install psycopg2 on a Greenplum system
If you try to install psycopg2 on a Greenplum system using pip you may run into this error: ... 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'. ... The solution is to add the path to the Greenplum bin directory to your environment PATH. export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/greenplum-db/bin/ Then run pip install psycopg2 and all should be good.
