After upgrading to Ruby 1.9.3 (from 1.9.2 using system RVM) on Ubuntu 10.04.3, I removed all of my gems, and attempted to reinstall pg (ala bundle install pg).
It then threw an error and informed me that I should look at mkmf.log, both of which are included in this gist: https://gist.github.com/d05a81701d968895c730
libpq-dev, libpq5, and postgresql-client are all installed and working correctly.
Pointing gem at pg_config, and the include and bin directories directly does not appear to change anything.
I’ve seen several questions about similar error messages around stackoverflow, and the rest of the web, but they all appear to be simple missing dependency issues (most of them are solved by installing libpq-dev), so I’m at a bit of a loss.
Various other properties that might be useful / relevant:
- ruby 1.9.3p0 (2011-10-30 revision 33570) [i686-linux]
- rvm 1.10.1 (system)
- gem 1.8.15
- psql (PostgreSQL) 8.4.9
Thanks in advance.

I’ve got the same problem in my case was lib’s inside .rvm/usr/lib which was taken to this compilation instead of lib’s from system. I’m not sure why that happens and why it doesn’t work (in my case on Ubuntu 10.04 x86_64) but to solve it just :
for a while or forever 😉
If someone will investigate why that happen I will be appreciate.
Regards.
