pgsql gem install encoding error

[Alan Kis]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to install pgsql gem, but I have some strange encoding issue
when trying to install. Whole app have just been migrated (mv) from
windows environment to Linux environment, but only default gemfile was
used. I have found that way to solve is to change locale in registry.rb,
but as I mentioned, my environment is Linux. Gist of gem_make.out can be
viewed here: https://gist.github.com/alankis/66fe0b3d80d0373dc01e

postgresql is installed and runing:

$ service postgresql status
9.3/main (port 5432): online

EDIT: Seems that this issue is only happening with pgsql gem, other gems
are installing sucessfuly, for example, running $ gem install A_123
installs specified gem successfully.

Thanks in advance,

Hi, Are you using git? Is everything committed? do you have the postgresql-common and the 
libpq-dev

I got some similar problem but due to git.

Hope it helps! :)

Is there a reason you're trying to install pgsql rather than the more common pg gem? It doesn't look like pgsql has been updated in some time.

Hi, Julio,



According to similar question on SO it seems that installing ruby-dev
headers for compiling extension modules did the trick.

sudo apt-get install ruby-dev && sudo gem install pg
