Re: configure: error: can't build without PostgreSQL libraries

I didn't really solve this problem but after reading a bit more it
looks like the problem is more with postgres than psycopg so I built
postgres and pyscopg using macports (thinking they must deal with this
somehow). After doing that I was able to use pyscopg with my existing
postgres build from source with no problems.
