Hi all, I am not sure whether this is the right place to ask this question. Please let me know if it isn't. I am trying to install psycopg2 in my windows machine for connecting with the PostgreSQL server. Since there is no binary executable*, I am trying to build my own - and I am facing this issue.
C:\MinGW\bin\..\lib\gcc\mingw32\3.4.5\..\..\..\..\mingw32\bin\ld.exe: cannot find -lpq collect2: ld returned 1 exit status error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1 After a little bit of googling, I found that this can be solved by -L<directory name> while linking - but I am not specifically linking the code. Rather, I am installing by doing the following - python.exe setup.py build python.exe setup.py install So, I cannot find a place to include the -L option too. Can somebody help me on this? I have been investigating this for the last 4 days - and now I cannot see any further way out. Regards, Raj *p.s -> I did find one binary in http://www.stickpeople.com/projects/python/win-psycopg/index.html#Version2. But the licensing is GPL and I wont be able to use it (I am doing coding for proprietary systems) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
