I googled around and found that I needed to comment out the reference
to static ruby libs in the rbconfig.rb. Now that I did so I get an
error in the mkmf.log stating that when trying the have_library
function for socket() the ld program can't find -lsocket. Is this
referring to the Ruby socket.so file or some socket file that should be
present in the PostgreSQL installation directories? I don't have
PostgreSQL compiled on the system. I just have the source code
directories since they have the include and lib directories that I
thought Ruby would need in order to install ruby-postgres-0.7.1. What
exactly is the extconf.rb script looking for when it's trying to find
socket()? If anyone could point me in the right direction (i.e. - Ruby
or PostgreSQL) I'd be eternally grateful :-)
