pygresql

[JD]

Hi there.

I'm trying to use python with postgresql. I decided to use psycopg to
interact with the postgresql server.  When installing psycopg it
appeared that I needed mxDateTime. So I decided to install the mxbase
package.

I received the following error message (the interesting bit seems to
be at the end):

I googled "error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1" and
interestingly a lot of the results seemed to be linked with python. I
can confirm that I do have gcc installed. One post seemed to suggest
that I may be using too new a version of gcc. Do you think this is the
problem or am I going astray somewhere else?

Thank you very much in advance for any assistance,
James.
