bundle fails for installation

Question

After I cloned a repo from bitbucket, on bundle install I am getting below error.

Gem::Ext::BuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

An error occurred while installing pg (0.18.2), and Bundler cannot continue. Make sure that gem install pg -v '0.18.2' succeeds before bundling.

when I tried to install gem install pg -v '0.18.2', I get this.

ERROR: Error installing pg:

ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

Please help in successful bundle instllation

Answer 1

You need to have PostgreSQL libraries and build essentials installed to compile the native extension of PG.

For PostgreSQL libraries

sudo apt-get install libpq-dev

For Build essentials

sudo apt-get install build-essential 

Assuming you are on an ubuntu machine
