Install psycopg2 in virtualenv (Ubuntu 10.04, Python 2.5)

Question

I am having problems installing psycopg2 in virtualenv.

I tried different things explained there: http://www.saltycrane.com/blog/2009/07/using-psycopg2-virtualenv-ubuntu-jaunty/

The last thing I tried is ... I created virtualenv using -p python2.5 --no-site-packages
I installed libpq-dev:apt-get install libpq-dev

In virtualenv, I did this: easy_install -i http://downloads.egenix.com/python/index/ucs4/ egenix-mx-base

Then when I tried pip install psycopg2==2.0.7, I got this error:

Installing collected packages: psycopg2
Running setup.py install for psycopg2

./psycopg/python.h:34:4: error: #error "psycopg requires Python >= 2.4"

Does anyone know how to solve this?
Thank.
