Thanks Brian.

But the same doesnt work for me i.e.
  $ ruby setup.rb config --with=dbi,dbd_pg

But however, i was so messed up that, now i removed the installation i 
did manually. I installed pg, dbi and dbd-pg gems using $ gem 
install.........

Then tried the Ruby program i wrote again, and the wonder is that it 
worked!!
I can connect to the PostgreSQL database from the Ruby program with 
statement

dbh = DBI.connect('DBI:Pg:database_name','username','password')

Honestly speaking I dont understand completely the reason,but it 
works.If you can explain it, I will be thankful.
