This is curious. The procedure to find the pg_config in the setup.py
is honestly messy, but it shouldn't fail so badly.
Could you please check with some print or some breakpoint:
a) if you specify a pg_config in the setup.cfg or in the command line,
you should find it as "self.pg_config" in finalize_options() (line 248
of setup.py). If nothing is specified, self.pg_config should be None
and should be obtained by autodetect_pg_config_path().
b) the try case in get_pg_config (line 88) is probably too broad. Can
you try to remove it and see if Popen fails with an exception which is
incorrectly interpreted as pg_config not found?
Thank you very much.
