From: Reid Thompson on 1 Mar 2010 08:45 Run this... $ dpkg --get-selections and paste the results in a pastebin. At this point, the gems is stating that it cannot find libpq ( the postgresql C client library ). Do you have the postgresql client packages installed? reid On Mon, 2010-03-01 at 17:56 +0900, Saeed Bhuta wrote: > Saeed Bhuta wrote: > > Shashank Tiwari wrote: > >> Are you installing this on a mac, windows or a linux environment?

Open synaptic, scroll down to the postgresql section, and look at the available packages. Make sure you have appropriate server and client packages installed as well as their associated dev packages.
