An error occurred while installing do_postgres (0.10.13), and Bundler cannot
continue.
Make sure that `gem install do_postgres -v '0.10.13'` succeeds before bundling.
So for some reason, with my current project, if I install a gem through the command line it doesn't get added to the External Libraries folder in Rubymine, and have so far been relying on it's own bundle/gem installer. So from reading other questions, I saw to download the Postgres93 support for Mac os x and in the command line I attempted to install postgres gem by specifying the path to the pg_config file, and it downloaded successfully, but didn't get added to the libraries in the project in Rubymine.
sudo gem install pg -- --with-pg config=/Applications/Postgres93.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/pg_config
The above command worked, but didn't cause the gem to appear in Rubymine, and thus I am still unable to push to Heroku. So when attempting to give the additional arguments to the bundle installer I get syntax errors when entering in
--with-pg-config=/Applications/Postgres93.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/pg_config
Any ideas how to resolve this?
