I'm currently trying to install Redmine, and I am up to the point of doing the bundle install as per their documentation.
The bundle installation is failing because file 'libpq-fe.h' is not found. According to some Stack overflow answers, this was fixed by installing the 'libpq-dev' package.
Is there an alternative solution that would be possible for shared hosting users?
Hi Josh, the package you need should be installed now.
Hi Klyton, thank you for installing the package. I am still getting the same error as before. The output suggests manually specifying a path for pg_config, specifically --with-pg-config=/path/to/pg_config
Would you know what path I should give to that argument? I looked in some of the locations where I might expect to find the libpq-fe.h file, but wasn't able to locate it on the system anywhere. I didn't want to use find as I figured that would probably cause a lot of alerts.
sean Hi Sean,
So far I have not been able to get it to work at all. I'm trying the gem command alone (as is also suggested by the bundle tool), specifying pg-config made no difference, so I also tried --with pg-include=/usr/pgsql-11/include and --with pg-dir=/usr/pgsql-11
In all cases I am getting the same error, that it can't find the libpq-fe.h file. I see it in the /usr/pgsql-11/include directory but have not been able to get the gem tool to see it. Would you have suggestions for anything else I could try?
Hi Sean, yep, that did the trick! Thank you.
