Cannot install pg gem

问题:

I finally managed to get the 'pg' gem install after spending hours trying to figure out why it's not working...

at the end I entered sudo env ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64" gem install pg -v 0.12.2 -- --with-pg-config=/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/pg_config which worked like a charm. But now I still have the same error when I try bundler - so I guess I didn't really solve the problem? Anyway, here's what bundle install is saying:

I think the problem is that bundler tries to install the gem using the pg_config from another postresql installation (which I had removed). Is there any way to ensure that bundler uses the right path?

I was stuck on my bundle install for 3 days. Tried Everything like adding env ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64" gem install pg -- --with-pg-config=/usr/local/Cellar/postgresql/9.3.5_1/bin/pg_config

I was able to see pg gem getting installed after this command but still it was not installing from bundle install, which was a pain because I dint know what to write in Gemfile except gem 'pg'

The thing which finally worked for me was to find that my pg_config was in /Library/PostgreSQL/9.3/bin/pg_config and by default the Gemfile bundle install looks in /usr/local/bin/pg_config

I just ran the following command and magic happened. bundle config build.pg --with-pg-config=/Library/PostgreSQL/9.3/bin/pg_config

Some correction. For those who have installed postgres using homebrew.

1) write the following line in your ~/.bash_profile

export ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64"

2) restart console

3) execute following command

bundle config build.pg --with-pg-config=/usr/local/Cellar/postgresql/9.3.5_1/bin/pg_config (this has to be your pg config address, can differ for each depending on versions of postgres)

4) Install pg once locally by running this command

sudo env ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64" gem install pg -- --with-pg-config=/usr/local/Cellar/postgresql/9.3.5_1/bin/pg_config

5) bundle install
