NOTE: This same error also occurs when using easy_install, other ways of installation...
I'm facing almost exactly the same problem as I'm trying to install psycopg2 onto Mac OS 10.6.3; it claims it can't find "stdarg.h" but I can see it's there; what should I do? , except I'm on OSX Lion (10.7) and I'm on Python v2.7.
It's also seemingly related to Can't install psycopg2 with pip in virtualenv on Mac OS X 10.7 but I get a different error message.
I made a new question because solutions that worked for OSX 10.6 (such as http://mail.python.org/pipermail/pythonmac-sig/2009-September/021617.html) don't work for me.
I'm trying to do the tutorial for Django on Heroku (https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/django), and I run into an error trying to install psycopg2. Here's the trace:

I don't know why it can't find stdarg.h! I've looked into a lot of answers online, to no avail.
