How to verify PostgreSQL 9 has installed correctly on a CentOS server?
- by A4J
I'm trying to install the PG (postgres) gem on a CentoOS server, but it keeps saying Postgres is too old, even though I have upgraded it to 9.1.3 (as per the instructions here http://www.davidghedini.com/pg/entry/install_postgresql_9_on_centos).
I am using CentOS 5.8 (and Ruby 1.9.3)
Here is the error message:
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing pg:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

Your PostgreSQL is too old. Either install an older version of this gem or upgrade your database.
*** extconf.rb failed ***
Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of
necessary libraries and/or headers. Check the mkmf.log file for more
details. You may need configuration options.
psql --version confirms my version: psql (PostgreSQL) 9.1.3
I can confirm packages installed:
Setting up Install Process

Nothing to do
Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this? Thanks in advance.
