When running 'bundle install' I get the following error message.

I've tried installing http://postgresapp.com/
but I am still getting the issue? Any ideas?
you need to pass a couple of options on the command line. like this
gem install pg -- --with-pg-config=/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/pg_config
If you installed postgres to a different location then you'll need to fix up the path to the pg_config file.

I am using Ruby 1.9.3 and therefore have to use an older version of Nokogiri. I need to install Nokogiri v1.5.10.
Initially I got an error that libxml2 is missing. After installing libxml2 I got the following error:
ERROR: Error installing nokogiri-1.5.10.gem:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

libxslt is missing. please visit http://nokogiri.org/tutorials/installing_nokogiri.html for help with installing dependencies.

Do I need to install each and every dependency manually?
If so, how do i determine what version to use?
NOTE: The server does not have access to the internet. Therefore, I have to scp rpm or tar files to install.
Unfortunately yes, you will need to install each dependency manually with that version of Nokogiri as I don't believe they packaged the dependencies in until version 1.6.0.rc1.
UGH... I broke my (formerly functioning) Rails setup - under OS X Yosemite. I did so using Homebrew to update my version of Git. After getting Git where I want it, running 'rails c' gives these errors:

Seeing the reference to pg_ext, I tried to verify pieces of my postgresql installation. If I try 'gem install pg' or try to update the gem with bundler, I get this:

I'm probably making my problem worse, but I went back and redid a 'brew install postgres' but still get the same error.
Any help appreciated. Thank you!
Did you also upgrade Postgresql via Homebrew? If not, what version of Postgres are you running, and how do you install it?
If you did upgrade your Postgres you'll need to rebuild the native bindings for the pg gem: gem uninstall pg && gem install pg.
I have tried installing the packet libpq-dev, and installing postgresql, but bundle install still fails due to gem pg. This is the error I get:
$ gem install pg -v '0.15.1'

What is a proper way to clean up the mess?
If you are on Mac, install Homebrew and then install Postgres using the command
brew install postgresql
Or you can download and install Postgres from here depending on which OS you are using.
There isn't any "mess" - it's a standard issue where your system does not have the required libraries to install the gem
Library
As mentioned in the comments, you first need to install PGSQL, which will create the required library files to help the gem install, after that you can use some path references to help the gem install:
gem install pg -- --with-pg-dir="C:/Program Files/installer
I ran bundle update (so that I can install rails), but got this error:
$ bundle update

I'm new to Ruby and all this, could anyone tell me what is wrong here?
This is on OSX
Make sure ton install postgres first. I suggest you do so via homebrew, the Mac package manager.
brew install postgresql
Here is one of the many tutorials on how-to install postgres on a Mac.
EDIT
Looks like the gem can't find your postgres config, here's an answer similar to your problem:

I'm trying to install hpricot and am getting the following error. I do have xcode installed but I'm not sure what else I'm missing.
$ gem install hpricot

I don't think hpricot is supported anymore. You should look into nokogiri, it is much faster and is extremely well documented.
edit: I just checked the hpricot github page (https://github.com/hpricot/hpricot/) and they also suggested you use nokogiri:
Hpricot has ended. Please consider an alternative like nokogiri.
edit#2: If you are running into errors installing it, it is likely because you are missing libxml and other libraries which you will need to install through homebrew or macports. All the required libraries and installation instructions can be found here:
http://nokogiri.org/tutorials/installing_nokogiri.html
It looks like you don't have libxml, or the libxml development libraries, from the error message in the nokogiri build.
Using Kubuntu 14.04 I installed hpricot (after error "ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.") simply by installing ruby-dev first.
