Hi, I'm trying to install psycopg2 on a Centos 5, 64-bit machine. I have
both 2.4 and 2.7 Python versions on this machine. I attempted to install
using
easy-install2.7 psycopg2

The install is not working. (I can't import psycopg2 in a python 2.7
session). yum doesn't list it as installed. But when I try to install it
again, easy_install responds that it's already installed. That's the short
version of the problem, more details below that may or may not be helpful.

Thanks,
LT

At first, easy-install2.7 psycopg2 gave me similar errors to what's
described on this page:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9600111/install-pg-config-in-centos-5-5-without-yum(something
to do with pg_config not found). So I followed the advice of
installing devel

yum install postgresql84-devel

...succeeded.

Then, I "easy-install2.7 psycopg2" again. In fact I piped the output to a
file and got what I have below, but it also flashed up an error message
which didn't get into this file and I can't see on the history. But from
that second that I saw it, I know it had __FILE__ in it. Now I'm in this
installed/but not installed kind of limbo.
