Problem with rubygems (and postgres)

Hi,

I've got Ruby 1.8.4 compiled and installed on a Ubuntu box. I
installed rubygems 0.8.11. I then installed the postgres gem.
Everything went ok. Doing a "gem list postgres" shows the postgres
gem.

So, when I fire up irb and do

irb(main):001:0> require 'rubygems'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> require 'postgres'
LoadError: no such file to load -- postgres
        from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:21:in
`require__'
        from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:21:in
`require'
        from (irb):2

That's not good. Why???!

Thanks,
Joe

do you have two instances of ruby installed? perhaps /usr/bin/ruby and
   /usr/local/bin/ruby?

if so you probably also have

   /usr/bin/gem

but only

   /usr/local/bin/irb

regards.

I did have the Ubuntu-installed Ruby installed at one point, but I
removed it. I thought I had removed all traces of it. Maybe not.
/usr/bin/ruby, /usr/bin/gem, and /usr/lib/ruby don't exist.

do you have two instances of ruby installed? perhaps /usr/bin/ruby and
   /usr/local/bin/ruby?

if so you probably also have

   /usr/bin/gem

but only

   /usr/local/bin/irb

For some reason, downloading ruby-postgres-20060406.tar.gz and doing a
manual install worked, while installing with the gem did not.

Now, I've got to figure out why I'm getting:

/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in
`gem_original_require': no such file to load -- test/rails
(MissingSourceFile)
        from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in
`require'
        from /home/joe/projects/tanga/config/../vendor/rails/activerecord/lib/../../activesupport/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:147:in
`require'
        from ./test/integration/../test_helper.rb:4
        from ./test/integration/layout_test.rb:1
        from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.7.1/lib/rake/rake_test_loader.rb:5
rake aborted!

Whenever I try to run any unit tests...

/usr/bin/ruby, /usr/bin/gem, and /usr/lib/ruby don't exist.

oh yeah. i remember that i had the same problem - the compilation stage of
the gem install doesn't correctly configur the include and lib dirs and thus
is fails (silently).

fyi for people reading this...

just a fyi, but i had the same issue hours ago on a fedora box and got it
working using

gem install postgres -- --with-pgsql-dir=/usr/local/pgsql

(extra -- is correct),then manually making it...

cd /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/postgres-0.7.1/
ruby extconf.rb \
--with-pgsql-include-dir=/usr/local/pgsql/include \
--with-pgsql-lib-dir=/usr/local/pgsql/lib
