I can’t do that, since you still haven’t shown:
-
your operating system version, your ruby version, and the dbi version
you’re trying to install
-
the exact commands you typed together with the responses that came
back
In particular, you say that the output of “ruby setup.rb --help” didn’t
list the --with option, but you can see from the output I posted that it
did for me.
So if you showed the actual output you got, it might explain why.
Perhaps we’re either running different versions of setup.rb, or
different versions of ruby, but that’s just a guess.
Hi, here is some information, hope it can help you to understand the
problem.

–with=dbi,dbd_pg
config: unknown option --with=dbi,dbd_pg
Try ‘ruby setup.rb --help’ for detailed usage.
