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

No pg_config... trying anyway. If building fails, please try again with

我怎么解决这个问题?


当前回答

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

其他回答

在Arch Linux上,你需要安装postgresql-libs:

sudo pacman -Syu postgresql-libs

在Debian 7.0, 64位(Wheezy)上,只需运行:

sudo apt-get install libpq-dev

成功安装libpq-dev后,运行:

bundle install

我通过rvm重新安装Ruby修复了同样的错误:

rvm reinstall 1.9.3

对于未安装PostgreSQL服务器的MacOS:

brew install libpq
gem install pg -- --with-pg-config="/usr/local/Cellar/libpq/9.6.6/bin/pg_config"

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。
