there should be no need to pass any extra parameters to the process in
order for it to build... I never needed to when I built the pg gem.
Perhaps there are other libraries missing but in theory, I would expect
that all you really need are postgresql-devel and ruby-devel libraries.
suggest that you start from scratch...
rm -fr /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/pg-0.9.0
gem install pg
and see what happens... then if it still fails, why not post the
relevant content of the
'log' /usr/lib/gems/1.8/gems/pg-0.9.0/ext/gem_make.out to the list?
