I ran into this some days ago. The problem is not related to the
distribution you downloaded, but to missing information about PostgreSQL
itself.

IIRC the file in question is "/usr/bin/pg_config". The file is probably packaged
in some lib*-dev package on your distribution.

--- Debian example ---
$ apt-file search /usr/bin/pg_config
libpq-dev: /usr/bin/pg_config
--- snip ---

thanks for all the fish
