No.
It should really be
library_dirs=['/usr/lib/pgsql']
*But* is this really the default place where PostgreSQL installs its
libraries? I thought this was rather /usr/local/lib?
If anybody wants to improve the setup.py part of PyGreSQL, I'd recommend
you take a look at the setup.py file for our altnernative PostgreSQL/Python
adapter:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/pypgsql/pypgsql/setup.py?rev=HEAD&content-type=te...
We recently put considerable effort in to make pyPgSQL build out of the box
on many platforms (Debian, SuSE, Redhat Linux, FreeBSD, OpenUnix, Windows,
MacOS X, Cygwin plus untested support for a few other platforms).
And of course pyPgSQL is licensed under a liberal BSD-like license as well
:-)
Btw. another question. I noticed that a few interfaces (Perl comes to mind)
have been moved out of the PostgreSQL tree to gborg. Maybe it'd be a good
idea to do that for PyGreSQL as well?
