I need to get psycopg2 installed on Mac OS X 10.5 I have read every install guide I could find and I still do not have it working. I have developer tools installed. I am running MacPython 2.6.2 and PostgreSQL 8.4 downloaded from http://www.enterprisedb.com/products/pgdownload.do
On my production machine (Debian) I did a simple atp-get and it worked. Why is it so much harder on Mac OS X? I am very near ripping my hair out because I have wasted too much time and I do not understand why psycopg2 does not work on my machine. Below are my notes from three attempts to install psycopg2. I have read other threads that suggest installing Python, PostgreSQL, and psycopg2 from MacPorts. I do not want to use MacPorts. I do not see why I need to use a completely different installation of Python to use a simple database driver. For my first attempt I followed the instructions listed here: http://jasonism.org/weblog/2008/nov/06/getting-psycopg2-work-mac-os-x-leopard/ It told me to add these lines to setup.cfg: include_dirs=/Library/PostgreSQL/8.3/include library_dirs=/Library/PostgreSQL/8.3/lib I then ran python setup.py build and got this error: $ python setup.py build running build running build_py creating build creating build/lib.macosx-10.3-fat-2.6 creating build/lib.macosx-10.3-fat-2.6/psycopg2 copying lib/__init__.py -> build/lib.macosx-10.3-fat-2.6/psycopg2 copying lib/errorcodes.py -> build/lib.macosx-10.3-fat-2.6/psycopg2 copying lib/extensions.py -> build/lib.macosx-10.3-fat-2.6/psycopg2 copying lib/extras.py -> build/lib.macosx-10.3-fat-2.6/psycopg2 copying lib/pool.py -> build/lib.macosx-10.3-fat-2.6/psycopg2 copying lib/psycopg1.py -> build/lib.macosx-10.3-fat-2.6/psycopg2 copying lib/tz.py -> build/lib.macosx-10.3-fat-2.6/psycopg2 running build_ext error: No such file or directory =================================================== For my next attempt I followed the instructions listed here: http://blog.jonypawks.net/2008/06/20/installing-psycopg2-on-os-x/ It told me to run this: PATH=$PATH:/Library/PostgresPlus/8.3/bin/ sudo easy_install psycopg2 This resulted in this error: (I substituted "8.4" for "8.3" because my version of PostgreSQL is newer) $ PATH=$PATH:/Library/PostgreSQL/8.4/bin/ sudo easy_install psycopg2 Password: Searching for psycopg2 Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/psycopg2/ Reading http://initd.org/projects/psycopg2 Reading http://initd.org/pub/software/psycopg/ Best match: psycopg2 2.0.11 Downloading http://initd.org/pub/software/psycopg/psycopg2-2.0.11.tar.gz Processing psycopg2-2.0.11.tar.gz Running psycopg2-2.0.11/setup.py -q bdist_egg --dist-dir /tmp/ easy_install-dUXtsI/psycopg2-2.0.11/egg-dist-tmp-1008XV warning: no files found matching '*.html' under directory 'doc' warning: no files found matching 'MANIFEST' /usr/libexec/gcc/i686-apple-darwin9/4.0.1/as: assembler (/usr/bin/../ libexec/gcc/darwin/i386/as or /usr/bin/../local/libexec/gcc/darwin/ i386/as) for architecture i386 not installed /usr/libexec/gcc/powerpc-apple-darwin9/4.0.1/as: assembler (/usr/ bin/../libexec/gcc/darwin/ppc/as or /usr/bin/../local/libexec/gcc/ darwin/ppc/as) for architecture ppc not installed Installed assemblers are: /usr/bin/../libexec/gcc/darwin/ppc64/as for architecture ppc64 /usr/bin/../libexec/gcc/darwin/x86_64/as for architecture x86_64 Installed assemblers are: /usr/bin/../libexec/gcc/darwin/ppc64/as for architecture ppc64 /usr/bin/../libexec/gcc/darwin/x86_64/as for architecture x86_64 lipo: can't open input file: /var/tmp//ccSK6sd7.out (No such file or directory) error: Setup script exited with error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1 Exception TypeError: TypeError("'NoneType' object is not callable",) in <bound method Popen.__del__ of <subprocess.Popen object at 0x9e3910>> ignored Exception TypeError: TypeError("'NoneType' object is not callable",) in <bound method Popen.__del__ of <subprocess.Popen object at 0x9e3970>> ignored =================================================== For my third attempt I installed the binary of psycopg2 from http://pythonmac.org/packages/py25-fat/index.html I thought it worked, but when I tried to import the module in the interpreter I got this error: >>> import psycopg2 Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/ python2.6/site-packages/psycopg2/__init__.py", line 60, in <module> from _psycopg import BINARY, NUMBER, STRING, DATETIME, ROWID ImportError: dlopen(/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/ lib/python2.6/site-packages/psycopg2/_psycopg.so, 2): Library not loaded: /usr/local/pgsql/lib/libpq.4.dylib Referenced from: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/ lib/python2.6/site-packages/psycopg2/_psycopg.so Reason: image not found What the hell do I need to do to get psycopg2 working with my MacPython 2.6.2 install? Sorry if I sound angry, but I have lost a lot of time on something that seems like it should be easy. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
