Thank you for the link.
I tried installing the gem but unsuccessful...
root@CodeHo:/home/justin/Documents/ruby# gem install postgres -- --with-pgsql-include=/opt/PostgreSQL/8.3/include --with-pgsql-lib=/opt/PostgreSQL/8.3/lib
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing postgres:

I'm afraid I don't use ruby, so I can't provide specific advice.
However, this looks to me like the gem installer expects a PLATFORM
(e.g. "linux") to be defined and can't find it. I'd expect there is a
guide to setting up your gems environment somewhere on the ruby pages
though.
However, before you spend too long with this - are you sure there isn't
an Ubuntu package for this? A few seconds' searching suggests this might
be what you're after:
