#10 18.39       pg_config is required to build psycopg2 from source.  Please add the directory
#10 18.39       containing pg_config to the $PATH or specify the full executable path with the

#10 18.39

#10 18.39       If you prefer to avoid building psycopg2 from source, please install the PyPI

Error: Docker build failed

The error could be "Error: pg_config executable not found.", so I have looked up the error in Google, and I got that I have to change the library "psycopg2" to "psycopg2-binary", but I still get the same error.

After I tried a "template" in railway, which is like configurations for each framework, and it brings a sample app to test with, in this case, it was a Django app, in that app I saw that the dependency "psycopg2" was the version "2.8.6", and it was working, so I also replaced the version "2.9.3" to "2.8.6", but with the same result, even with replacing it with the dependency "psycopg2-binary".
