In the past, I've used mysql with rails without problem. I need to work
with postgresql, but I'm having trouble getting it working. I've seen
conflicting reports on what gems are needed. My latest install was

sudo gem install postgres --
--with-pgsql-include-dir=/Library/PostgreSQL8/include
--with-pgsql-lib-dir=/Library/PostgreSQL8/lib

(note: I did this blindly. It's about my 6th try to get proper gems in
place)

I'm running Rails 2.3.8 and PostgreSQL 8.4.2

My .yml configuration is
development:
  adapter: postgresql
  database: movies
  username:  michael2
  port:  5432
  allow_concurrency:  true
  encoding:  SQL_ASCII

When I try to do a test connect with rake db:migrate, I get the
following:

rake db:migrate --trace
(in /oldhome/michael/projects/movies)
** Invoke db:migrate (first_time)
** Invoke environment (first_time)
** Execute environment
rake aborted!
syntax error on line 3, col 9: `  adapter: postgresql'
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/yaml.rb:133:in `load'
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/yaml.rb:133:in `load'
         ---------

Can anyone offer some help? Thanks much
