pg_config executable not found

[et304383]

On Ubuntu 16.04, following installation instructions (sudo python setup.py develop):

Running psycopg2-2.7.1/setup.py -q bdist_egg --dist-dir /tmp/easy_install-H62v31/psycopg2-2.7.1/egg-dist-tmp-ba8igp
Error: pg_config executable not found.

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'.
error: Setup script exited with 1

I solved this using https://stackoverflow.com/a/12037133/4075901.

Perhaps this could be documented in the readme?

Thanks Eric. I'll take a look and see about updating the docs.

Made a note in the install section in the README. Thanks for the report!
