I have postgres 10.4 on my Mac OS X High Sierra and Rails 5.2, however when I try to install pg gem I get a gem building error. It says it cannot build the gem despite a successful confirmation of pg_config. I was hoping someone could look at the error and point me in the right direction?

Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of necessary

need configuration options.
To see why this extension failed to compile, please check the mkmf.log which can be found here:

Here is the cat from the mfmk log if it helps.

you can not really install any native C gems on JRuby.
there's usually platform specific versions (separate gem releases sharing the same name) e.g. if you check nokogiri you see several 1.8.2 versions.
for pg there isn't a java platform release (yet in 1.0.0 - maybe in the future).
the way you run Rails with JRuby has been to use gem 'activerecord-jdbc-adapter'
but please do note that 5.2 isn't supported atm - maybe some work on master
