Got to /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages, and rm(dir) anything related to psycopg2. Then look in any "*.pth" files and delete lines related to psycopg2. Then try re-running easy_install. You would definitely need the -devel packages for PG because easy_install is trying to compile a C module. But I've done the same thing before (tried to install psycopg2 w/o the devel package installed), and just an ordinary re-run fixed it for me.
