Build from source issue

[Hooverdan (Dan W.)]

@Marvin, welcome to the community forums. I assume, you are building from source on Tumbleweed or other flavor of OpenSUSE?

Which version of postgresql is the system using before you starting the installation? I have to rely on @phillxnet to confirm that this is still required or not, but there seemed to have been a similar issue early on related to the postgresql version used by default:

Build instructions

@jcdick1 Hello again. I’ve just managed to reproduce your build issue on a recent Tumbleweed install that had previously build rockstor OK. Getting distribution for 'psycopg2==2.7.4'. Error: pg_config executable not found. pg_config is required to build psycopg2 from source. And it looks like upstream package changes so far as if we look to prior snapshots of root: ./.snapshots/35/snapshot/etc/alternatives/pg_config ./.snapshots/35/snapshot/usr/lib/postgresql10/bin/pg_config ./.snapshots/3…

and specifically here:

@phillxnet

alternatives --config postgresql
There are 2 choices for the alternative postgresql (providing /usr/lib/postgresql).

 Selection    Path                   Priority   Status
------------------------------------------------------------
* 0            /usr/lib/postgresql11   110       auto mode
 1            /usr/lib/postgresql10   100       manual mode
 2            /usr/lib/postgresql11   110       manual mode

Press <enter> to keep the current choice[*], or type selection number: 1
update-alternatives: using /usr/lib/postgresql10 to provide /usr/lib/postgresql (postgresql) in manual mode

Here I selected 1 as it’s what we have been using all along, at least in our openSUSE source builds.

Take a look and see whether helps address your issue.
