Hi

PG_config  doesn't seem the problem.  From the config.log

configure:18606: checking for pg_config
configure:18625: found /usr/bin/pg_config
configure:18637: result: /usr/bin/pg_config

configure:18676: $? = 1
configure: failed program was:

What can I do about this?

Have fun

configure also must find the pg_config program.  If it can't find it,
you can specify its location on the configure command line:

    ./configure PG_CONFIG=...path...
