... I get this error message if I try "bundle install" and I don't understand what to do. The things I find on the internet refer to windows and I have a mac :(

Thanks for help anyone ;)

hm, I would say its a databank problem. something with pg = postgres. again.

did you try that: rails s --with-pg-config=/path/to/pg_config

maybe?

[fidothe]

The problem is that bundle install is trying to install the pg -- postgres adapter -- gem, and the pg gem can't find postgres on your machine.

If it's installed you can try running gem install pg directly, but passing in the path to the pg_config program that postgres comes with. you could try running which pg_config and see if your shell can find it -- it probably can -- and then take that path and run gem install pg like this:

gem install pg -- --with-pg-config=/usr/local/bin/pg_config

replacing /usr/local/bin/pg_config with whatever which pg_config reported.

The other possibility is that you haven't installed Postgres yet, in which case you can do that and retry bundle install.

If you need to install postgres, then you should look at Homebrew - http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/

It's a pretty straightforward process to get Homebrew installed, and then installing postgres is as simple as typing

brew install postgres

thank you. I thought that I had already installed postgres and it worked last time. But I try again anyway. Now I get the warning that I haven't installed xCode yet. Do I need this?

[Bumbledebee]

Hi Maren, follow this install tutorial, it has all (from xcode, to pogres to homebrew etc.) explained easily for exactly your system:

thanks Debbie. I'll do that now but according to my download capacity it takes hours to download xcode :(

[Bumbledebee]

@mortice from soundcloud had a shorter way how to do that. he told the ones opposite from our table

ping him on twitter and I am sure he is happy to tell you what you can do instead

If you install Xcode itself it's fairly small, and you should just be able to install just the bit you need for this from the weird preferences bit in the app - you just need the UNIX CLI stuff in order to be able to compile postgres...

Hey - in case you have problems with XCode or want a smaller download, the alternative Debbie mentioned was https://github.com/kennethreitz/osx-gcc-installer. I haven't used it myself, but I'm told that it works well...

[zaziemo]

ouff - it finally works. I downloaded xcode during nighttime ;)

[zaziemo]

many thanks to all helpers!

[zaziemo]

hmpf. now I get this error message. It seems that it's trying to connect to the wrong - whatever that means :(

PG::Error could not connect to server: No such file or directory Is the server running locally and accepting connections on Unix domain socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432"? Anyone with an idea?

[fidothe]

How did you install Postgres? Homebrew?

if so, run brew info postgres and check you followed the instructions to initialize the DB and start it…

@zaziemo I'm going to put together a Getting Started section in the README, so I'm following through the setup of this app. When I run it, I don't need postgres, because the database config uses sqlite3 in development. What command are you running to try and start the application?

[zaziemo]

@mortice thank you so much. Now I'm a little bit confused because apparently I have different versions of my database.yml and gemfile than in our master branch (we worked on the issue different databases for development and production some weeks ago). Perhaps everything is a version/merging problem :(

[rentalcustard]

@zaziemo ok, I see your database.yml now. There's nothing wrong with it, but your postgres isn't running properly, I think... Did you see @fidothe's message above? You could try following his advice...

[zaziemo]

@mortice yes, I saw followed @fidothe instructions but then hat problems with my sqlite gem. finally I updated my origin again to svenfuchs/master and now everything works fine. Now I try to create a new feature ;) thanks for your patience, guys!

[rentalcustard]

Hah, ok! Enjoy :)
