It's more complicated than that. There are obsolete versions of some libraries, such as libel, which need to be replaced. However, those libs are not easily replaced because you can't simply "ln" an entry into the directory where it needs to go. There are workarounds, and potential problems with the workarounds. This is all on El Capitan so your milage may vary.
It's just an unholy mess. I'm really surprised the PostgresSQL and Apple people can't come up with a way around it. Or the psycopg2 people.
