Thanks for the comment. The comments are seriously broken, and I’m looking into it tonight.

Sorry if I’ve managed to flood your pending-approval queue with the same comment over and over again, but something is broken with your comment form – it keeps redirecting me to http://joshkim.org/comment-page-/#comment- and a Page Not Found message.

THANKS!!!! This, and the comment from the previous post about using the right rake, and I'm up and running on OS X 10.6, rails 2.3.4, postgres (gem) 0.7.9, and Postgresql 8.4.

And ditto for making sure you have the right path to your PSQL distro. In my case it meant changing it to /opt/local/lib/postgresql84

On Mac OS X 10.5.6, I installed the "canned" .dmg from PostgreSQL (8.3.7). This installs to /Library/PostgreSQL/8.3, quite unlike macports. Anyway, the following worked for me to get the latest ruby-pg gem:

sudo env ARCHFLAGS="-arch i386" gem install ruby-pg -- --with-pgsql-dir=/Library/PostgreSQL/8.3
