`!psycopg2` raises `!ImportError` with message *_psycopg.so: undefined symbol: lo_truncate* when imported.
This means that Psycopg has been compiled with |lo_truncate|_ support,
which means that the libpq used at compile time was version >= 8.3, but at
runtime an older libpq library is found. You can use::
$ ldd /path/to/packages/psycopg2/_psycopg.so | grep libpq
to find what is the version used at runtime.
You can avoid the problem by using the same version of the
:program:`pg_config` at install time and the libpq at runtime.
