Ah, that makes sense. The error message, however, is misleading: You need to install postgresql-server-dev-NN for building a server-side extension or libpq-dev for building a client-side application. because the user calling `pg_config' may not be intent upon buidling either kind of application. Stating that pg_config requires one of these pachages would be more understandable.
