i tried the following
sudo gem install pg –
–with-pgsql-include=/opt/postgresql-9.0.1/src/interfaces/libpq
still getting an error, how do i tell it where to find the header files?
checking for pg_config… no
checking for libpq-fe.h… no
Can’t find the 'libpq-fe.h header

Just ran into the same thing myself… installing ‘libpq-dev’ seemed to
have solved it:
sudo apt-get install libpq-dev

Did you try just “sudo gem install pg”? I suspect you did and it
failed. At any rate, that’s definitely not the correct path; you
probably want something like /opt/postgresql-9.0.1/include
Run pg_config, it’ll tell you what your include dir is.

That won’t matter on an install from source, like the OP is doing.

Try this
sudo gem install pg – --with-opt-dir=/usr/local/lib/postgre/
–with-pg-dir=/usr/local/lib/postgre/
where /usr/local/lib/postgre/ should be changed to dir where your
postgresql was installed

Ben thanks for your clue, I got the gem to build and install. I just
needed to add the executable pg_config not just its path:
sudo gem install pg –
–with-pg-config=/opt/postgresql-9.0.1/src/bin/pg_config/pg_config

That one did the trick. Thank you!
Mine was:
sudo gem install pg – --with-opt-dir=/usr/local/pgsql/
–with-pg-dir=/usr/local/pgsql/
