Hi, I've installed psycopg2 under Slacware 11.0 along with PostgreSQL 8.2.4.
When I run the python shell I get the following error: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~$ python Python 2.4.3 (#1, Jul 26 2006, 20:13:39) [GCC 3.4.6] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import psycopg2 Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/psycopg2/__init__.py", line 60, in ? from _psycopg import BINARY, NUMBER, STRING, DATETIME, ROWID ImportError: libpq.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory The strange thing is that under root and postgres users, there is no error.
