I'm trying to install PostgreSQL's pg gem for Ruby.
I issued the following command:
gem install pg
I installed Ruby 1.9.2 using RVM.
The above command shows me the following error.
The error is :
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing pg:

Somebody gave solution for Ubuntu users.
What about OpenSUSE Linux?
Thanks for advance.
For me this was the solution:
zypper in postgresql-server-devel
pg_config is part of postgresql-server-devel, if you install that
package then it should work on Tumbleweed at least.
Source: https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2019-03/msg00300.html
As per my search OpenSUSE linux has no package for client of Postgres, but as you have installed that it, that mean chances are the file pgsql.so is present in your system. How did you install it, I can see following which says it will install development libraries and client also
sudo zypper in postgresql postgresql-server postgresql-contrib
sudo zypper in postgresql-plperl postgresql-plpython postgresql-plctl
If this does not work then try to search in postgres installation path this file, locate file_name is easy to find files on different linux, but not sure it works in openSUSE it is part of mlocate package. If you find that file then symbol link it as per error, where error is searching this file.
If it is still not working, then you can use your Postgres directory in environment variable and try to install gem individually. To get postgres configuration use following command to see directories.
pg_config
Now try to install gem
PATH=$PATH:/Library/PostgreSQL/9.0/bin sudo gem install pg
On some system following command also resolve issue, so you can try it too
sudo gem install pg – --with-pg-config=/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_config

I had a linux brew package manager, which had some old dependencies that messed with the pg gem install.
The answer is:

Your PostgreSQL is too old. Either install an older version of this gem or upgrade your database.

PostgreSQL version: postgres (PostgreSQL) 9.2.3

I have also tried:
gem install pg -- --with-pgsql-lib=/location/of/install/postgres/9.2-pgdg/lib/64/ --with-pg-config=/location/of/install/postgres/9.2-pgdg/bin/64/pg_config
I have no idea why this error is occurring and I cannot find any useful info on Google.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Lots of things can go wrong installing a database client, the gem and using it.
I generally install PostgreSQL from source, not from a distro. At that point I know I have all the source and know exactly where things got installed. That's important when installing the gem that talks to the client drivers.
I also rely on installing Ruby from source, either by directly installing it myself, or by using rbenv or RVM if it's on one of my development boxes. Then I also install the pg gem directly, using gem install pg; I've had too many bad experiences using distros when installing languages so I go old-school on it.
I wrote a little script I use on my Mac OS systems, that I've found useful for my CentOS Linux boxes:
#!/bin/sh -x
PATH=/Library/PostgreSQL/9.2/bin:$PATH
gem install pg
I adjust the PATH addition depending on where PostgreSQL got installed, and it seems to do the trick. I've used the longer, more "comprehensive" options also, but this seems to work as well.
The issue is that the installer needs to dig out installation information from the pg_config executable and being able to find pg_config does the trick.
I was going nuts with this until I realized that postgresql-devel and postgresql-libs were from 8.1.23!!!
$ yum list installed postgres*

$ sudo yum install postgresql94-libs
$ sudo yum install postgresql94-devel
$ gem install pg

Installing and linking postgresql from homebrew fixed it for me:
brew install postgresql
brew unlink postgresql91
brew link --overwrite postgresql
I just upgraded from OS X Lion to OS X Mountain Lion.
My rails environment for the most part stayed in tact.
The only steps I had to do to get things back to a good state was:
- Install XCode 4.4
- Install XCode 4.4 Command Line Tools
- Install gcc-4.2
So all that went well.
Here's the issue, almost all my gems install properly when I run bundle install except for one of the most important ones I need - the postgresql gem 'pg'.
And it specifically fails for versions above 0.12.2.
I'm using ruby 1.9.3p125.
I can successfully grab the 0.12.2 pg gem, and versions below, but they give me segmentation faults (I'm guessing because of the version of ruby I'm using).
So this leads me to believe that it's specific to the pg gem, and not my overall environment seeing as other gems install fine.
I also tried re-installing Postgresql to ensure my postgres environment is ok and seems good on that front.
Has anybody been able to install the 'pg' gem version 0.13.0 or above (and more preferrably 0.14.X)?

Deefour's comment got it! It was the way I installed PostgreSQL.
I use the PostgreSQL one-click installer which I'm guessing doesn't set up the libpq up properly for Mountain Lion.
Homebrew on the otherhand will build it properly for the OS.
After installing postgres through homebrew
brew install postgresql
I was able to install my gem no problem.
Thanks everybody!
The issue is the location of pg_config. If you use the one-click installer, it is in /Library/PostgreSQL/9.2/bin/pg_config, so this will build your gem just fine:
env ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64" gem install pg -- --with-pg-config=/Library/PostgreSQL/9.2/bin/pg_config
I had the exact same issue; same stack trace as you've posted.
MRI 1.9.3-p286 / OS X 10.8.2 / Postgres 9.0.4 with homebrew.
I solved it by simply doing:
$ brew update
$ brew upgrade postgresql
$ bundle
Hope it works for someone else.
Reinstalling ruby fixed a similar issue I was having after upgrading to Mountain Lion
rvm reinstall 1.9.3
Note: also run the following as it seems the default version resets
rvm --default 1.9.3

Like Matt, Ranjan, and Peter Mellett all say, you have to get the right pg_config location, and Mountain Lion comes with a different location that doesn't seem to play well with rubygems, so if you find your old version like
/Library/PostgreSQL/bin/pg_config
then you can set that in the bundle config before installing.
My situation was upgrading from Lion to Mountain Lion.
Homebrew installed pg_ctl in /usr/local/bin/pg_ctl, so the command for me was:

Fro those, who are using Kubuntu 13.04 and installed pg with one click tool, pg config is in other folder, so command:

I've tried specifying the TDS lib and include dirs (/usr/local/lib and /usr/local/include) without luck. I've tried reinstalling FreeTDS from source manually as well as via homebrew, but that made no difference.
I've seen a few similar issues posted, but they seem to reference an issue with locating iconv libraries which I appear to be moving beyond.
Any suggestions or references I may have overlooked? Thanks in advance.

In my case, it seems the symlinks were not configured correctly, and using "brew link freetds" threw errors which required opening up some permissions. I tried just about everything else, and this is finally what worked:
