# The portion of the extconf.rb file in question is: | |
have_library( 'pq', 'PQconnectdb', ['libpq-fe.h'] ) || | |
have_library( 'libpq', 'PQconnectdb', ['libpq-fe.h'] ) || | |
have_library( 'ms/libpq', 'PQconnectdb', ['libpq-fe.h'] ) | |
# UPDATE | |
Using the short path worked: | |
gem install pg -- --with-pg-dir="c:/PROGRA~2/POSTGR~1/9.1" |
