The above steps should be run as root preferably via sudo. You have 
already done that as well as the step that installed virtualenv. My 
suggestion was to run the below as joshmoe in joshmoes home directory:

virtualenv-2.7 --distribute someproject

source someproject/bin/activate
(someproject)# python --version

Then install psycopg2 in that virtualenv.

This assumes you want to run psycopg2 in a virtualenv. I am not sure 
what the end point of all this i.e. how you want to use psycopg2?
