It looks like you're trying to build against postgresql 7.4. Try building psycopg2 against postgresql 9.0 client libs
instead.You can then use the 9.0 lib to connect to the 7.4 database. I don't know enough about RHEL to tell you if can
installthe different postgresql versions side-by-side. Adjust your path to pop in the 9.0 pg_config, and the build
shouldsucceed.
