So rather than referring in step 1 to required components by their package name e.g. python-psycopg2, I would suggest using the standard name of the library e.g psycopg2, and adding a link for generic download, e.g. http://www.initd.org/psycopg/install/

Good point - this confused me when trying to install on MacOS initially.

http://docs.ckan.org/install-from-source.html <-- Updated. Someone
might like to check that I have the links right.

Also, does anyone know what the non-package equivalent of
"build-essential" would be?
