[PyGreSQL] Proiblems installing pygres

Hallo Maik,

That looks like you haven't installed the python-devel package.

As D'Arcy already noticed, python2.4 seems to be wrong on a python2.3 
system. Also, you must type paths without the brackets. If you really 
want to compile it manually, something like this should do:

cc -fpic -shared -o _pg.so -I/usr/include/python -I/usr/include/pgsql 
-I/usr/include/pgsql/server/ -L/usr/lib/ -lpq pgmodule.c

However, after installing python-devel, a simple "python setup.py build" 
should do as well.
