In case this helps anyone, I figured it out ... unfortunately, my dumb a$$ didn't install Postgres before I tried to install the psycopg2 module! I then still had issues, but after adding the postgres 'lib' directory to the ld.so.config file (eg, cat "/dir/to/pgsql/lib" >> / etc/ld.so.config and running ldconfig all is well!
