Can't install egenix-mx-base on Django production VPS
- by Shane
I have been following these instructions for setting up a Django production server with postgres, apache, nginx, and memcache. My problem is that I cannot get egenix-mx-base to install and without this I cannot get psycopg2 to work and therefore no database access :(.
I am attempting this on a VPS running a clean install of Ubuntu Hardy (8.04) and have followed all instructions on the site to a T.
The error message is as follows:
$ easy_install egenix-mx-base

Thank you to anyone who takes the time to try to help me.
