Hi DJ, Psycopg2 has a C extension wrapped by Python. That C extension must be compiled with the same compiler used to compile the Python compiler itself.
This is not a Django issue, this is a psycopg issue. You should ask for assistance on the psycopg mailing list, they'll be better able to help you. You should also look around for pre-compiled binaries of psycopg2 for Windows, as the packagers will have taken this compiler mismatch issue into account. ---Peter On 11/17/08, dj <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hello All, > > I am django novice and i am very, very ,very, very green. > > I am trying to setup the PostgresSQL database with the psycopg2 > library.
