Ah, that makes sense.  The error message, however, is
misleading:

  You need to install postgresql-server-dev-NN
  for building a server-side extension
  or libpq-dev
  for building a client-side application.

because the user calling `pg_config' may not be intent upon
buidling either kind of application.  Stating that pg_config
requires one of these pachages would be more understandable.
Thank you very much.
