>To install and use ruby-pg, you'll need to do the following:
>- Download ruby-pg 0.9.0 from http://bitbucket.org/ged/ruby-pg/downloads
>- Extract wherever you want, let's say in /tmp/ruby-pg for example
>- Go in the extracted ruby-pg directory, and apply the patch (
>https://gist.github.com/00be9e82ed4fd548c29d ) by doing: patch -p0 <
>/path/to/extconf.rb
>- cd into the "ext" directory, and run the following commands:
>$> macruby extconf.rb # potentially add --with-pg-config if you need
>$> make
>$> sudo make install
>You will have to make sure that your local installation of PostgreSQL is
>compiled for both i386 and x86_64 bits, MacRuby requires it.
>
>Once you have issued the latest command, the extension "pg_ext" will be
>installed (without needing gems). You can either rename pg_ext to pg, or
>create a pg.rb file that requires pg_ext (which is exactly what the gem does
>when installed, however installing ruby-pg has proven to less than
>straightforward [even with ruby19], so it's easier to do it this way ;-)).
>
>Hope this helps, good luck with that!
