Error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status when installing psycopg2
Solution 1
You'll need to install the development package for PostgreSQL, which for instance under Ubuntu is a sudo apt-get install libpq-dev
... and for CentOS it's yum install postgresql-devel
Solution 2
For the case of CentOS, I had this very same problem, that I solved installing these packages:
sudo yum install postgresql-libs
sudo yum install postgresql-devel
sudo yum install python-devel
only then, I was able to perform successfully:
sudo easy_install psycopg2
Solution 3
May Your system is missing the Python headers. To fix this, run:
sudo apt-get install python-dev
or
sudo apt-get install python3-dev
Solution 4
On a fresh ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS on an EC2 instance, I was able to install psycopg2 after instaling the following packages:
sudo apt-get install gcc
sudo apt-get install postgres-xc-server-dev
sudo apt-get install libpq-dev
sudo apt-get install postgresql-client-common
sudo apt-get install postgresql-common
And on a fresh AMI linux (CentOS) instance:
sudo yum install postgresql-devel
sudo yum install gcc*
Hope it helps,
