Install psycopg2 on Ubuntu
This works for me in Ubuntu 12.04 and 15.10
if pip not installed:
sudo apt-get install python-pip
and then:
sudo apt-get updatesudo apt-get install libpq-dev python-devsudo pip install psycopg2
Using Ubuntu 12.04 it appears to work fine for me:

What error are you getting exactly? - double check you've spelt psycopg right - that's quite often a gotcha... and it never hurts to run an apt-get update
to make sure your repo. is up to date.
