Good day!
I have problems installing postgres gem.
It seems that gem cannot find my PostgreSQL installation.
Please tell me what options can I give to gem. Gem manual doesn’t help.
I’m getting the following:
ERROR: While executing gem … (Gem::Installer::ExtensionBuildError)
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.
ruby extconf.rb install postgres

necessary libraries and/or headers. Check the mkmf.log file for more
details. You may need configuration options.
