Hi,

I have a puzzle, for which I would appreciate your opinion on!

I have been trying to setup a project in Pycharm with psycopg2.

If I install it using pip install it is added. However  if I use the Pycharm "preferences>project interpreter>add package" option it fails with the below message. 


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'.

Command python setup.py egg_info failed with error code 1 in /private/var/folders/79/wxtpjs7x3wx_v01fz8h5y8pw0000gp/T/pycharm-packaging4753300326598484086.tmp/psycopg2
Storing debug log for failure in /Users/admin/.pip/pip.log

in .bash_profile I have the following:

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/share/python
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin
export PATH=$PATH:/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/9.3/bin/pg_config
export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/usr/local/bin/python

export WORKON_HOME=$HOME/.Virtualenvs
export PROJECT_HOME=$HOME/Projects
export VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_PYTHON=/usr/local/bin/python
export VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_VIRTUALENV=/usr/local/bin/virtualenv
source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh
# source /usr/local/share/python/virtualenvwrapper.sh

alias showhidden='defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE; killall Finder'
alias hidehidden='defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE; killall Finder


Notes
-Mac OS
-Python and Postgres installed using brew
-Django project
- Installing to a virtualenv python environment.

Let me know if you have an idea how I can fix this!

Thanks,

Andy
