I'm trying to install the Postgres gem on OS/X but getting errors no matter what I try.. In theory, it should be as simple as "gem install postgres", correct? Here's what I get: >sudo gem install postgres Building native extensions. This could take a while... ERROR: Error installing postgres: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension. /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/bin/ruby extconf.rb extconf.rb:73: command not found: pg_config --bindir =========== WARNING =========== You are building this extension on OS X without setting the ARCHFLAGS environment variable, and PostgreSQL does not appear to have been built as a universal binary. If you are seeing this message, that means that the build will probably fail. Try setting the environment variable ARCHFLAGS to '-arch i386' before building. For example: (in bash) $ export ARCHFLAGS='-arch i386' (in tcsh) $ setenv ARCHFLAGS '-arch i386' Then try building again. =================================== extconf.rb:46: command not found: pg_config --includedir extconf.rb:53: command not found: pg_config --libdir checking for main() in -lpq... no *** extconf.rb failed *** Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of necessary libraries and/or headers.
