Why isn't bundle install allowing for the pg gem to fully install?


I've installed the pg gem as shown, but...

Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
    Successfully installed pg-0.11.0
    ERROR:  Could not find a valid gem '—' (>= 0) in any repository
    ERROR:  Could not find a valid gem '–with-pg-config=/usr/local/pg/bin/pg_config' (>= 0) in any repository
    1 gem installed
    Installing ri documentation for pg-0.11.0...
    Installing RDoc documentation for pg-0.11.0...

Something strange happens when I bundle install and it won't completely install the pg gem:

Then I get the lines that tell me I may lack necessary libraries or headers:

   *** extconf.rb failed ***
    Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of
    necessary libraries and/or headers.  Check the mkmf.log file for more
    details.  You may need configuration options.

Here is my gem file:

gem 'rails', '3.0.10'

# Bundle edge Rails instead:
# gem 'rails', :git => 'git://github.com/rails/rails.git'

gem 'pg'

  gem 'webrat', '0.7.1'
  gem 'spork', '0.9.0.rc8'
  gem 'factory_girl_rails', '1.0'
end

# Use unicorn as the web server

# Deploy with Capistrano

# To use debugger (ruby-debug for Ruby 1.8.7+, ruby-debug19 for Ruby 1.9.2+)
# gem 'ruby-debug'
# gem 'ruby-debug19', :require => 'ruby-debug'

# Bundle the extra gems:
# gem 'bj'
# gem 'nokogiri'
# gem 'sqlite3-ruby', :require => 'sqlite3'
# gem 'aws-s3', :require => 'aws/s3'

# Bundle gems for the local environment. Make sure to
# put test-only gems in this group so their generators
# and rake tasks are available in development mode:
# group :development, :test do
#   gem 'webrat'
# end

How do I solve this issue? Thanks in advance.

EDIT Answer:The trick was to install the pg gem under the correct pathway to pg_config whereas before it wasn't fully installed. I ran 'gem install pg -- --with-pg-config=/opt/local/lib/postgresql84/bin/pg_config ' for the path I had put down under my last comment. I just had to locate my pg_config file and run gem install under that.


Solution

  • The trick was to install the pg gem under the correct pathway to pg_config whereas before it wasn't fully installed. I ran gem install pg -- --with-pg-config=/opt/local/lib/postgresql84/bin/pg_config after locating the pg_config exec file. I just had to locate my pg_config file and run gem install under that pathway.
