Installing do_postgres on MacPorts

Ensure that pg_config is in your $PATH.

Note: This expects you are using PostgreSQL 8.2. Alter the directories as required.

To test if pg_config is included, execute which pg_config Terminal:

Expected Result:
/opt/local/lib/postgresql82/bin/pg_config

Including pg_config into your $PATH

If you don’t get anything, then it isn’t in your path. Append the following to your ~/.profile file:
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/local/lib/postgresql82/bin

Now it will be included in all new terminal sessions.

Installing do_postgres

Now feel free to install the do_postgres gem.
sudo gem install do_postgres -- --with-pgsql-include-dir=/opt/local/include/postgresql82/ --with-pgsql-lib-dir=/opt/local/lib/postgresql82/

Note: This is a single line command.

    Your command didn’t work for me, but this did:

    sudo gem install do_postgres-0.9.0.gem — –with-pgsql-include=/opt/local/include/postgresql82/ –with-pgsql-lib=/opt/local/lib/postgresql82/
