Hi
When i try to install postgresSQL gem under Ruby.
i issued the following command
gem install pg. since i am using Rails 3.0. i installed Ruby9.2 by using RVM.
The above command shows me the following error. I have installed all necessary packages and library for postgresSQL under Ubuntu.
The error is :
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing pg:

Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of necessary libraries and/or headers. Check the mkmf.log file for more details. You may need configuration options.
