Gem files will remain installed in /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/pg-0.14.1 for inspection.

An error occurred while installing pg (0.14.1), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install pg -v '0.14.1'` succeeds before bundling.

Answer 1

The reason for this error is that there is no dev package for PostgreSql and the PostgreSql client cannot be successfully compiled; there are two solutions:

1) Install dev package

Use package management to install, RedHat system is

yum install postgresql-devel

Debian system is:

apt-get install libpg-dev

2) If you do not plan to use PostgreSql as Redmine’s database, you can use the following command to ignore the corresponding gem:

bundle install --without development test postgresql

You can also ignore sqlite and rmagick (both have dependencies):

bundle install --without development test postgresql sqlite rmagick
