Subject: Re: How to install Ruby Postgres Gem with a remote server

We have ruby version 1.8.4, fedora core 2, postgres version PostgreSQL 
7.2.2
here is the error when I issue the command gem install postgres

Attempting local installation of 'postgres'
Local gem file not found: postgres*.gem
Attempting remote installation of 'postgres'
Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
*** 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.

Provided configuration options:
        --with-opt-dir
        --without-opt-dir
        --with-opt-include
        --without-opt-include=${opt-dir}/include
        --with-opt-lib
        --without-opt-lib=${opt-dir}/lib
