I am trying to get Rails working with my Postgresql installation in XP.
This is the line that I am trying to execute: "gems install postgres"
I
installed the include files, etc from the Postgres installer, Cygwin is
installed...but I keep getting the same error:
Attempting local installation of ''postgres''
Local gem file not found: postgres*.gem
Attempting remote installation of ''postgres''
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: While executing gem ... (RuntimeError)
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.
Gem files will remain installed in
c:/dev/tools/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/postgres-0.7.1 for inspection.
ruby extconf.rb install postgres\nchecking for cygwin32_socket() in
wsock32.lib... no
checking for socket() in socket.lib... no
checking for gethostbyname() in inet.lib... no
checking for gethostbyname() in nsl.lib... no
checking for sys/un.h... no
checking for socket()... no
checking for cygwin32_socket()... no
Any idea?
Thanks,
Andres

Its native ruby, so you''ll avoid all this compilation hassle. -- ''Aww, you know what always cheers me up?

:-) Now it works !!!! Thanks. Now, I am a little worry about the version numbers ( postgres-pr website says 0.3.6 ) I intend to code version 2 of a current "enterprise application" and I will be killed if this libraries are not ready for "production sites". Any other "stable-release" version of a Ruby->Postgres to use with Rails?

Hi there, This is reaching back a bit, but when I installed it under both MingW and on OS X I had to run the build manually, chances are cygwin will be the same. Also, try running the build from under the cygwin bash shell rather than from the DOS prompt. Also, check your gems directory for where the gem has been downloaded to and run (from in the cygwin bash shell), in that directory: ruby extconf.rb --with-pgsql-dir "/path/to/postgresql" That way it should definitely pick up both the cygwin libraries, and further in the configuration the psql library.

I''d expect the native C postgres libs to be a little faster, but probably not as much as you''d expect.> Any other "stable-release" version of a Ruby->Postgres to use with Rails?Yeah, the one you couldn''t build :) -- ''You were doing well until everyone died'' -- God Rasputin :: Jack of All Trades - Master of Nuns
