Question

When I run the command rake:install, I get this error message:

WARNING: 'require 'rake/rdoctask'' is deprecated.  Please use 'require 'rdoc/task' (in RDoc 2.4.2+)' instead.

  ===========   WARNING   ===========

  You are building this extension on OS X without setting the 
  ARCHFLAGS environment variable, and pg_config wasn't found in 
  your PATH. If you are seeing this message, that means that the 
  build will probably fail.

  If it does, you can correct this by either including the path 
  to 'pg_config' in your PATH or setting the environment variable 
  ARCHFLAGS to '-arch <arch>' before building.

  For example:
  (in bash) $ export PATH=/opt/local/lib/postgresql84/bin:$PATH                  
            $ export ARCHFLAGS='-arch x86_64'
  (in tcsh) % set path = ( /opt/local/lib/postgresql84/bin $PATH )
            % setenv ARCHFLAGS '-arch x86_64'

  Then try building again.

(See full trace by running task with --trace)

Apparently is the problem in the pg gem, but when I check the list of installed gems in my application, so there is * pg (0.13.2)

So what I am missing yet?

Answer 1

Solution for the issue above:

 1. export PATH=/Library/PostgreSQL/9.1/bin:$PATH
 2. export ARCHFLAGS='-arch x86_64'
 3. rake install
