I'm starting to look at postgres because I'm going to need it for its GIS extensions. But I run in into a problem when trying to install the ruby-postgres gem. I get this error
Building native extensions. This could take a while... ERROR: Error installing ruby-postgres: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension. blah blah blah etc postgres.c:31: error: conflicting types for ‘pg_encoding_to_char’ /usr/include/postgresql/libpq-fe.h:518: error: previous declaration of ‘pg_encoding_to_char’ was here postgres.c: In function ‘pgconn_s_escape_bytea’: postgres.c:370: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 1 of ‘PQescapeBytea’ differ in signedness postgres.c: In function ‘pgconn_s_unescape_bytea’: postgres.c:401: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 1 of ‘PQunescapeBytea’ differ in signedness make: *** [postgres.o] Error 1 Presumably some people have installed Postgresql and got it to work with Ruby. Does anyone have any experience solving this problem?
