How can I be sure that it's correctly installed? How can I test it? Marc
-----Original Message----- From: george young [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 30, 2005 7:18 PM To: Marc Khayat Cc: [email protected] Subject: RE: Installing PyGresql Marc, In using setup.py, the "getconfig" function is designed to take a string argument that is a symbolic name for the type of resource, e.g.: include_dirs=[getconfig ('includedir'), getconfig('includedir-server')] uses the symbolic names "includedir" and "includedir-server". The getconfig function just runs the pg_config program to find out what real directory 'includedir' corresponds to. If this doesn't work right, you need to put explicit directory names *instead of* the getconfig call. E.g., you should use: include_dirs=['/usr/local/pgsql/include/', '/usr/local/pgsql/include/server '] NOT: include_dirs=[getconfig('/usr/local/pgsql/include/'), getconfig('/usr/local/pgsql/include/server')] Did you try running setup.py without any modifications? This should work in principle. Check that the "pg_config" command is in your path; just type pg_config at the prompt. If you get 'command not found', you need to add /usr/local/pgsql/bin to your path. And please, when something fails, tell the mailing list exactly what happened, not just "it didn't work". This may seem overly verbose, but it really helps us to help you. Also, please always mention briefly what your environment is: platform(linux, windows, etc), postgres version, python version, and pygresql version. I hope this helps! -- George Young -- "Are the gods not just?" "Oh no, child. What would become of us if they were?"
