Thread: Installing postgressql for use with Redmine

Installing postgressql for use with Redmine

From

Hi,

 

I was going through the process of installing Ruby on Windows Server 2008 for use with Redmine. After executing rake db:migrate, I was confronted with an error that I needed to do:

gem install activerecord-postgres-adapter ....   however the gem wasn't present. Found a forum indicating that this wasn't really a gem, that I needed to either do one of the following:

 

gem install postgres   or..

gem install pg

 

At which point it gripped that the development kit needed installing. I followed the instructions here:

 

https://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller/wiki/Development-Kit

 

and now when trying either to install postgres or pg it tells me "Could not create makefile for some reason, probably lack of necessray libraries and/or headers. Check the mkmf.log...."

 

I installed PostGresSQL with the Windows installer exe provided on postgresql.org

 

Can anyone tell me what I'm supposed to be doing here? I'm completely new to both ruby and postgres.

 

Thanks!

 

Sean Thomas
