Gem Dependency failure while installing.

Added by Seth George at 2012-10-19 09:50 pm

Good Afternoon,
I am installing chiliproject onto a virtual machine to test it out, and I am hitting a hurdle that I do not know how to get around. The OS is CentOS 5.6, and where I am getting an error is when i try to run the bundle install command. This is what I run into:

bundle install --without test development

I am not a native Linux user, so I am relearning / refreshing what I know, so I am not quite sure how to use the suggested "--with-pg-config=/path/to/pg_config" option. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you don't intend to use PostgreSQL as a database backend you can just not install the pg gem by adding postgres to the --without part of bundle install:

bundle install --without test development postgres

RE: Gem Dependency failure while installing. - Added by Seth George at 2012-10-20 12:02 am

That would be possible, but I am not sure what will and won't be used. I am not the dev on this, just the Sysadmin setting up the system. I am sure the developer who will be putting this in our pipeline will want to have all options available to him.

Edit: Also, if I install without this, will I be able to install it later?

RE: Gem Dependency failure while installing. - Added by Felix Schäfer at 2012-10-20 11:16 am

Bundle will remember options you pass in the --without option until you pass it a new set, i.e. yes, you could add the pg gem later.

You probably are just missing some postgres headers, have a look in your distribution's package manager if there is package like postgres-devel or similar.

RE: Gem Dependency failure while installing. - Added by Seth George at 2012-10-22 08:35 pm

So I see:

libgda-postgres-devel.x86_64 : PostgreSQL provider for libgda pkgconfig file

under YUM, would this be what I am looking for?

RE: Gem Dependency failure while installing. - Added by Felix Schäfer at 2012-10-22 09:29 pm

Doesn't look like it, can you post the list of postgres related packages YUM provides?

postgresql-devel probably is what you need. To clarify: the full name of the software is PostgreSQL, but most of the time shortened to postgres or even pg or pgsql, sorry for the confusion.

RE: Gem Dependency failure while installing. - Added by Seth George at 2012-10-22 10:04 pm

Not a problem, I will proceed with that, and give you a status update.

Thank you for the help,
Seth

RE: Gem Dependency failure while installing. - Added by Seth George at 2012-10-22 10:20 pm

Well, I am one step closer. I come back with this error now:

Your PostgreSQL is too old. Either install an older version of this gem or upgrade your database.

Would the issue be coming from using a CentOS 5.6 image?
