I adapted to:
./configure --with-postgres/libraries=/usr/local/pgsql/lib
--with-postgres-includes=/usr/local/pgsql/include
--with-zope=/usr/lib/Zope-2.6.2-src
--with-mxdatetime-includes=/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/mx/DateTime/mxDateTime
I have python2.3 but mx is only in 2.2 for some reason. Zope-2.6.2 says
use Python 2.1 only; it didn't install satisfactorily but as I'm not
planning to use on a website at this point does that matter? The
libraries are there.
At this point, using the command
conn = psycopg.connect("dbname=personal", serialize=0)
from psycogq documentation, I get
NameError: name 'psycopg' is not defined
What am I missing?
