Hi there quiet recently I had a big problem with this guy - gem install pg | |
It threw me : | |
$ gem install pg | |
Building native extensions. This could take a while... | |
ERROR: Error installing pg: | |

Results logged to /home/andrej/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p290@c/gems/pg-0.11.0/ext/gem_make.out | |
and I was kind of unable to find it, but now i got it: | |
AND THE MAGIC TRICK : | |
is that you do not have this installed -- > postgres-devel | |
so go get it : | |
sudo yum install postgresql-devel | |
Thats all... than just gem install pg and there it goes :D such a silly mistake :D |
