The setup.py for psycopg2 asks pg_config for config options, but ignores 
the required LDFLAGS. As a workaround, you could specify the flags while 
building the package, e.g.:

  env LDFLAGS="$(pg_config --ldflags)" sh psycopg2.SlackBuild

It's easy to adapt the SlackBuild accordingly, but maybe it would be 
better to address this in psycopg2 itself.
