When I try to build psycopg2 with a pip -e /path/to/psycopg2, I get the following error:

psycopg/connection_type.c:810: error: 'psyco_conn_get_exception' undeclared here (not in a function)

error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

This error is consistent for psycopg versions 2.2.2, 2.3.0_beta1, and git.

Using the alternative install method works fine, I'm using a virtualenv, BTW:

(cd /path/to/psycopg2 && python setup.py install)

To keep the environment reproducible on multiple platforms, the virtualenvs use non-system pythons, e.g. an /opt/python2x. These are built with zc-buildout 1.4.4, zc.cmmi recipe:

cat /opt/python27/buildout.cfg

[buildout] parts = python
parts-directory = .
download-cache = cache

[python] recipe = zc.recipe.cmmi
url = http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.1/Python-2.7.1rc1.tgz
extra_options = --enable-unicode=ucs2

The complete pip log is below:
