@cybertuxh4xor Have you tried to run bundle install or done gem install pg -v '1.4.6' --source 'https://rubygems.org/' as was mentioned as potential solutions in the error logs? What was the output? Can you show us said output?

Note that nasm_shell.rb will not install pg for you if it is missing.

that is the said output, i ran both,

My guess is that you are mixing both sudo'd parts of your Ruby install with non-sudo'd parts. Generally speaking you shouldn't need to sudo to install Ruby otherwise you can run into odd errors like this one due to root having one setup of Ruby and your current user having a separate setup.

It may be an idea to remove your existing Ruby installation and try reinstall as a non-root user; your current install seems to have been potentially messed up as a result of this.

Alternatively try run sudo /opt/metasploit-framework/embedded/framework/tools/exploit/nasm_shell.rb and that might work since you are now using root's version of Ruby and its setup vs your normal user which seems to be broken.

I'd still recommend reinstalling Ruby as a non-root user though to prevent future issues like this one.

Have you installed libpq-dev PostgreSQL dev library?

sudo apt install libpq-dev

That took care of it
