An error occured while installing pg (0.12.0), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install pg -v '0.12.0'` succeeds before bundling.
I have libpq-fe.h installed at /usr/pgsql-9.1/include/libpq-fe.h. So, I tried
gem install pg -v '0.12.0' -- --with-pg-config=/usr/pgsql-9.1/bin/pg_config --with-pg-lib=/usr/pgsql-9.1/include/libpq-fe.h but still no go.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also, I have installed postgresql91-devel and ruby-devel. Running CentOS 6.
Have you tried running this before running bundle install?
bundle config build.pg --with-pg-config=/usr/pgsql-9.1/bin/pg_config
In case somebody used macports to install postgres and are having problems finding their pg_config, try this:
bundle config build.pg --with-pg-config=/opt/local/lib/postgresql91/bin/pg_config
I hope this helps somebody save some time. Cheers!
If you are not sure where your pg_config is, and assuming you are on Linux or Mac, you can run the following command:
which pg_config
this will return ==> /usr/pgsql-9.1/bin/pg_config
now use this path as
bundle config build.pg --with-pg-config=/usr/pgsql-9.1/bin/pg_config
Done now bundle install
Had the same problem, fixed by installing libpq-dev.
Ref: https://bitbucket.org/ged/ruby-pg/issue/83/help-gem-install-pg-failed-on-opensuse-103
Copy & Paste:
bundle config build.pg --with-pg-config=`which pg_config` && bundle

The first thing you should do is ensure that the 'pg_config' tool that comes with Postgres is in your path. If it isn't, or the one that's first in your path isn't the one that was installed with the Postgres you want to build against, you can specify the path to it with the –with-pg-config option.

You can get this error if you have pg_config installed but its not in any path. You can add it to your PATH env in your ~/.bashrc.
For example.
export PATH=${PATH}:/usr/pgsql-9.2/bin
I'm on Mac and i use Homebrew, so to fix this issue i just installed postgresql with brew:
brew install postgresql
And then installed the gem.
I had to do this to fix mine on OS X:
export PATH=/opt/local/lib/postgresql84/bin/:$PATH
And I had to do it despite the fact that I already had this in my path:
[user@foo ~] which psql84
/opt/local/bin/psql84
[user@foo ~] ls -altrh /opt/local/bin/psql84
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 36B Dec 7 02:15 /opt/local/bin/psql84 -> /opt/local/lib/postgresql84/bin/psql
I hope that helps another Mac user with this problem.
The Postgres gem can't find the Postgres configuration file. You need to tell it where it is. The most enjoyable solution to this in my opinion is to skip Brew and MacPorts and just use the Postgres app. Download and install from here:
Now add the bin folder to your path:
PATH="/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/MacOS/bin:$PATH"
You may also wish to add this to your ~/.bash_profile
Now install the gem:
gem install pg
it should go smoothly.
I am using Arch Linux, and was having similar problems. Used sudo pacman -S libpqxx and reran then installed the pg gem and then ran bundle install again, and this time it finally worked!
Try this:
yum install libpqxx-devel
It works with Postgr9.2.
When do you use postgresapp on Mac, read the http://postgresapp.com/documentation/cli-tools.html documentation and Configure your $PATH. Before this try run the bundle install again.
This link suggested using:
gem install pg --pre
I couldn't get the pg gem to install for days,but this method finally worked for me. Hope this will be helpful.
gem install pg -v '0.17.1'
Did the trick for me.
Make sure you have postgress installed. if not install it first. Using terminal for example.
brew install postgresql
After that run
bundle install
Somes cases on UBUNTU
sudo apt-get install libpq-dev
On CentOS 7
sudo yum install postgresql-devel
Then
bundle install
this worked for me.
in OSX, first install pg:
brew install postgresql
second, do gem install:
gem install pg --source 'https://rubygems.org/'
you can then run bundle install
I am using mac and didn't want to install postgresql locally.
Installing libpq and setting the bundler config worked for me.
