Rails - Dec 2004 - anyone get ruby posgres driver works in debian

Hi:

Have any one installed postgres driver working in debian?
If yes, could you post how do you install it?

I tried to use 
gem install postgres and it failed. 

I have also tried to use
Ruby extconf.rb and it also failed.

In both cases, I get the following error message in the out file.

checking 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

I have postgresql 7.4 installed in the machine.

Thanks a lot
chong

In order for the gem extension to compile you need development files for
libpq. Debian has a package called postgresql-dev. Install that and then
try the gem install.

Those errors you''re getting though aren''t seemingly related to
what
I''m suggesting...

While I happen to track experimental,unstable, and everything below on
my workstation, I have rails and postgres working just fine.

In case you use Debians unstable, it seems you have to use gem out of
CVS.

As for the postgres question, here are the packages I have installed,
libpgsql-ruby1.8
libdbd-pg-ruby1.8
libdbi-ruby1.8

Hi, Steve:

I do use debian unstable
I have the following installed
libpgsql-ruby1.8
libdbd-pg-ruby1.8
libdbi-ruby1.8
postgresql-dev

My postgresql version is 7.4

I don''t thin it is gem related problem because even if I use 
Ruby extconf.rb, I get the same error.

Could you tell me how do you install postgres? (use gem install
postgres)

Thanks
chong

There are two debian packages for ruby postgres libraries you know.
libdbd-pg-ruby and libpgsql-ruby.

Hi, Marcel:

I installed both libdbd-pg-ruby and libpgsql-ruby as you have mentioned,
but same error happen.

I think extconf.rb somehow is checking wrong location for the network
library.

Also, could you tell me what is your version of postgresql server?

The ruby postgres binding mentioned it will support postgresql 7.1 but
my postgresql server is 7.4

Thanks
chong

libpgsql-ruby == the postgres gem so you don''t need to run
extconf.rb. You should be all set.
