People,

I got rails talking to PostgreSQL 8.0 on my Mac!

Once upon a time:
I'm on a Mac.
I want to use postqreSQL 8.0 to backend my rails.

I tried a gem install...

zmac11:/cd/rubythings/ruby-postgres oracle$
zmac11:/cd/rubythings/ruby-postgres oracle$
zmac11:/cd/rubythings/ruby-postgres oracle$
zmac11:/cd/rubythings/ruby-postgres oracle$ gem install postgres
ERROR: While executing gem ... (RuntimeError)
    ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

zmac11:/cd/rubythings/ruby-postgres oracle$

obviously... I google...
(after checking this list of course)

I found:

http://blog.humlab.umu.se/samuel/archives/000019.html .....

$CFLAGS = " -I/usr/include/openssl "
$LDFLAGS = " -L/usr/lib -lssl -lcrypto "

added above lines to

extconf.rb

and now a screen dump:
