You need python header files in order to compile the C module extension.
I'm not sure how you do that on Centos.
On ubuntu you install them with "sudo apt-get install python-dev".

Thanks you very much!
Succeeded to install from sources.

P.S. FYI, but with easy_install there's still problem:
$ sudo easy_install psutil
Processing psutil
error: Couldn't find a setup script in psutil

Sorry, my fault. ( I was trying to run easy_install from psutil directory ) 
This confused it.

$ cd
$ sudo easy_install psutil

Actually, I had the same issue and same error messages on Citrix 5.6 release, 
which is based on Centos5. Anyone could help?

You need to install the Python headers, same as in the original issue report. 
If the pytthon-dev package or headers are not available then there is no 
Python.h on your system.

On Centos 6 running:

  yum install python-devel

installs the python header files.

I don't have yum...is there anyway to install python-dev with rpm? if you know 
the package for python-2.6.6 and redhat6.4
