安装pg gem时找不到'libpq-fe.h头文件

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.

        /home/u/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p0/bin/ruby extconf.rb

    Results logged to /home/u/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p0/gems/pg-0.11.0/ext/gem_make.out

我怎么解决这个问题?

我最近升级到Mac OS X v10.10 (Yosemite)，在构建pg gem时遇到了困难。

报告的错误是典型的:

Using config values from /usr/local/bin/pg_config
checking for libpq-fe.h... *** extconf.rb failed ***

我的解决方案是卸载pg gem，然后捆绑更新pg，用最新的gem替换gem。我确实运行了brew update;在Yosemite安装后进行brew升级，以获得我之前安装的软件包的最新版本。

在OS X和MacPorts上，PostgreSQL不再需要-devel包。安装pg gem的步骤如下:

~ > sudo port install postgresql-devel
...
Error: postgresql-devel has been replaced by postgresql91; please install that port instead
~ > gem install pg -v '0.17.1' -- --with-pg-config=/opt/local/lib/postgresql95/bin/pg_config

Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS，这似乎对我有用:

sudo apt-get install ruby ruby-dev libpqxx-dev libpq-fe-dev libpq-dev 
sudo gem install pg -- --with-pg-config=/usr/include/postgresql/pg_config --with-pg-include=/usr/include/postgresql/

我在Mac OS上也有同样的问题，但我在终端上使用以下方法轻松安装了PostgreSQL gem:
