Ola all the smart people.
I’m facing a problem which I’m trying to solve but failing. I’m trying to install pg gem on the server which has Omnibus Chef installation on ie http://www.opscode.com/chef/install/
Basically the problem has been reported already (http://tickets.opscode.com/browse/COOK-1406) but I’m looking for a solution to this if there is any – the workaround suggested to install packages from Opscode Ubuntu repos – but those come with ruby 1.8 – I hope I dont have to continue further why I’m feeling reluctant to do that 🙂
The error I’m getting when installing the pg gem is:
$ sudo /opt/chef/embedded/bin/gem install pg
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing pg:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

I think the problem is that pg gem is linked against a different lib than the one postgresql was built against and the compile fails. I’m just wondering if there is anything I could do to work around this ?
Any amazing bright minds ?
Cheers
I was able to get the pg gem to install by downloading the postgresql source, and compiling it by building vs the libraries in /opt/chef/embedded. This is not optimal, but it should work (caveat: I haven’t tried it in a recipe or a ruby program):
