'Error Installing psycopg2 on Amazon Linux

When installing psycopg2 on Amazon Linux using this command: sudo pip-3.4 install psycopg2 I get this output:

I already have gcc, postgresql-devel, postgresql-libs, and python34-devel installed. Am I missing a package or setting?

Edit: This is on an EMR node.

Solution 1:[1]

I have the same problem with EMR, I tried below 

sudo yum -y install gcc python-setuptools python-devel postgresql-devel
sudo /usr/bin/pip install --upgrade pip 
sudo /usr/local/bin/pip install psycopg2

It works when I'm running it on EMR but doesn't work when EMR is spin up from Pipeline.

Solution 2:[2]

If you are trying to install psycopg2 for python3 you must install python3-devel as well.

To find the correct package yum search python3 | grep devel

In my case it was python36-devel so I did sudo yum install python36-devel

And then I could install psycopg2 for my python3 virtualenvironment on the machine

Solution 3:[3]

If you're looking for psycopg2 for python3 in amazon linux, this is what worked for me: 

sudo yum install -y gcc postgresql-devel
sudo curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/ez_setup.py -o - | sudo python36
sudo pip-3.6 install -U psycopg2
