Subject: Ruby-Postgres connection with libdbd-pg-ruby library

I'm got Ruby on Rails 6.1 installed but am trying to hook it up to
Postgres.

This is in a Debian Linux  2.6.18 environment, where Postgres 7.4.6 is
our database, already running as the backend database for another
project that I want to connect to.

My sysadmin has installed the Debian library libdbd-pg-ruby but says
there's no more documentation on it. Also he is reluctant to install
the gems package described at the Ruby site as an example of how to
connect Postgres.

Can anyone help me with configuring and testing a Ruby-Postgres
connection, with the libdbd-pg-ruby library?

TIA,
