Impossible to Install PG gem on my mac with Mavericks

by

If you want to avoid using MacPorts, you can download the Postgres App and place it into the Application directory.

Then, specify the location of newly downloaded pg_config: 

gem install pg -- --with-pg-config=/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/latest/bin/pg_config

If you run in to missing headers problem, try specifying the include directory of the app:

gem install pg -- --with-pg-include="/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/latest/include/"
