I'm trying upload my project (in python) that uses Psycopg2 for Amazon Elastic Beanstalk. I'm doing this with a zip file containing my project and an requirements.txt file.
But I'm receiving this error:
Downloading/unpacking psycopg2>=2.4.6 (from -r /opt/python/ondeck/app/requirements.txt (line 3)) Running setup.py egg_info for package psycopg2 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'. Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info: running egg_info
How can I solve this on Amazon?
The psycopg2-binary package is meant for beginners to start playing with Python and PostgreSQL without the need to meet the build requirements.
psycopg2-binary and psycopg2 both give us the same code that we interact with. The difference between the two is in how that code is installed in our computer.
The current psycopg2 implementation supports: Python 2 versions from 2.6 to 2.7. Python 3 versions from 3.2 to 3.6. PostgreSQL server versions from 7.4 to 9.6.
Need postgresql-devel in your container. Create a file '.ebextensions/packages.config' with the contents:
packages: yum: postgresql94-devel: []
Replace 94
in postgresql94-devel
with whatever version of postgres you need. For example, postgresql93-devel
for postgres 9.3.

Tried to comment on the accepted answer but don't have the reputation to do so. Recent forum posts from AWS support indicate that the package name is "postgresql93-devel". postgresql-devel does not work in the 2014.09 AMIs.
