我尝试使用宝石安装pg,但它似乎不工作。

Gem install pg给出这个错误

这对我来说很管用:

sudo apt-get install libpq-dev

我使用:

Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS 2.2.2红宝石 Rails 4.2.1

其他回答

在macOS (El Capitan)上。你可以简单使用:brew install postgresql

如果你正在使用Postgres。在Mac上的应用程序,你可以解决这个问题一劳永逸,像这样:

首先gem卸载pg,然后编辑~/。Bash_profile或~/。ZSHRC文件或同等文件,并添加:

# PostgreSQL bin path
export PATH=$PATH:/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/9.4/bin

然后bundle install和gem install pg都可以正常工作。

Gem install pg -- --with-pg-config=/usr/pgsql-9.1/bin/pg_config

$ PATH=$PATH:/Library/PostgreSQL/9.1/bin sudo gem install pg

将9.1版本替换为系统上安装的版本。

如果你使用的是jruby而不是ruby,在安装pg gem时也会遇到类似的问题。相反,你需要安装适配器:

gem 'activerecord-jdbcpostgresql-adapter'
