Cannot Install

When trying to install, I see:

'pg_config' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
gyp: Call to 'pg_config --includedir' returned exit status 1. while trying to load binding.gyp

There is nothing added to the error when running NPM with --verbose. I have also tried clearing the NPM cache. According to Travis CI, it passes on Linux.

I just realized that I fixed it! I had both pg and pg.js installed at the same time. When I removed pg, Knex stopped working. That’s probably another bug that I’ll open later. It said that pgpass was missing.

To build node-postgres on Windows

• Install Visual Studio C++ (tested with Express 2010)
• Add the path to tour Postgres bin to the system path ENV (i.e. C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.3\bin)
• Make sure that both libpq.dll and pg_config.exe are in that folder.
• npm install pg

knex should support pg AND pg.js (= node-postgres-pure), see here.

I guess so. That seems to work perfectly. However, since that is an alternative fix and not really helping the problem, I will keep this open. I think that this should be fixed.
