我使用的是Ruby on Rails 3.1预版本。我喜欢使用PostgreSQL,但问题是安装pg gem。它给了我以下错误:

$ gem install pg
Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
ERROR:  Error installing pg:
    ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

我怎么解决这个问题?


当前回答

在Mac上,我用下面的代码解决了这个问题:

gem install pg -v '0.18.4' -- --with-pg-config=/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/9.4/bin/pg_config

其他回答

我对Fedora 30的解决方案:

sudo dnf install /usr/include/libpq-fe.h

在Mac OS X上运行如下:

gem install pg -- --with-pg-config=***/path/to/pg_config***

***/path/to/pg_config***是pg_config的路径

在我的情况下,它是包postgresql-server-dev-8.4(我使用的是Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal), 64位)。

郑重声明:

Ruby on Rails 4应用程序在OS X与PostgresApp(在这种情况下需要0.17.1版本-有点老项目):

gem install pg -v '0.17.1' -- --with-pg-config=/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/9.3/bin/pg_config

在Ubuntu上,安装“libpq-dev”来解决这个问题。

sudo apt-get install libpq-dev
