PosgreSQL 8.4

I wanted to have PosgreSQL server working on the mac so that development is easier.
There is a .dmg package from the guys at EnterpriseDB that is a single click install. Check it at their downloads page. Get it. Install it. Everything goes into:

/Library/PostgreSQL/8.4

Now to install the do_postgres gem, I had to set the $PATH to:

$ export PATH=$PATH:/Library/PostgreSQL/8.4/bin

Now, installing the gem from rubygems.org should work:

$ gem install do_postgres
or
sudo env ARCHFLAGS='-arch i386' gem install do_postgres

Remember in OSX where your gems are installed, with or without root access using:

$ gem environment

Debian 5.0 Lenny

I have PosgreSQL 8.3 on my Debian servers, from the repositories. To install the do_postgres gem, you must get the header files for libpq5 (PostgreSQL library):

$ sudo apt-get install libpq_dev
$ sudo gem install do_postgres

Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala

I have PosgreSQL 8.4 on my Ubuntu servers, from the repositories. To install the do_postgres gem, you must get the header files for libpq5 (PostgreSQL library):

$ sudo apt-get install libpq_dev
$ sudo gem install do_postgres
