Error requiring pg under rvm with postgres.app

Question

I\'m using Postgres.app on OS X (10.8.3). I have modified my PATH so that the bin folder for the app is before all others.

Rammy:~          


        

Answer 1

The problem is in the linking of the gem to the Postgres.app. If you link it to the postgres version that ships with osx

Here's a small script:

• if using rvm with project gemsets: change into your project

• run the following commands:

  gem uninstall pg
  
  PATH=${PATH/'Postgres.app'/'WRONGFOLDER.app'}
  gem install pg
  PATH=${PATH/'WRONGFOLDER.app'/'Postgres.app'}
  

• Now everthing should be fine
