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:

我怎么解决这个问题?


当前回答

步骤1)确保在您的系统中安装了postgress(如果它已经安装并且您可以在您的机器上运行postgress服务器,则移动到步骤(2)

apt-get install postgresql postgresql-contrib (sol - fatal error: libpq-fe.h: No such file or directory)
sudo apt-get install ruby-dev (required to install postgress below)
sudo gem install pg
sudo service postgresql restart

步骤2)一些c++文件试图直接访问libpq-fe.h,但无法找到。所以我们需要手动搜索每一个这样的文件,并将libpq-fe.h替换为postgresql/libpq-fe.h

在所有目录和子目录中搜索libpq-fe.h的命令是grep -rnw ./ -e 'libpq-fe.h'

3)进入“All file listed by command run in step 2”,使用postgresql/libpq-fe.h手动修改libpq-fe.h。

其他回答

我通过安装postgresql-common包解决了这个问题。这个包提供了pg_config二进制文件,这很可能是您所缺少的。

只有卸载(sudo apt-get purge) libpq-dev并重新安装它才对我有用。

我对Fedora 30的解决方案:

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

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Error: postgresql-devel has been replaced by postgresql91; please install that port instead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
