I ran into a bit of problem moving an app to a test Heroku host – I needed to install PostgreSQL. I added the following to my Gemfile:
#Gemfile #gem 'sqlite3' gem 'pg'
I then tried to run bundle install:
root@chris-VirtualBox:~/site# bundle install
However I received the following error:
root@chris-VirtualBox:~/site# bundle install

Make sure that `gem install pg -v '0.12.2'` succeeds before bundling.
It turned out that because I was on Ubuntu I needed to install the libpq-dev package:

And then just run bundle install again:

There’s some documentation on the gems wiki page: https://bitbucket.org/ged/ruby-pg/wiki/Home
