Putting this on hold.

I had previously tried to use the git repository for the devkit and ran into problems. I'm using the standard instructions now and seem to be making progress. It looks like I have the missing headers issue which I'll resolve by finding them or downloading them and then using the "--with-pg-config" parameter.

Got it working. What threw me were two things:

  1. trying to pull from GIT the development kit. I thought I'd ride the high watermark and apparently did not know my way around the pulled tree well enough. I back stepped and simply followed the instructions for installing the development kit

  2. The path. my Postgres was in the default path of C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.4. So I modified my DOS PATH variable to point to "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.4\bin". The pg_config.exe was found, but the install failed later down the road because of the space in "Program Files". I tried to append to the PATH "C:\Progra~1\PostgreSQL\8.4" and the prior presence of "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.4" seemed to prevent a successful install. So, I started a fresh DOS session, tainted by PATH statement with:

     C:\>set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Progra~1\PostgreSQL\8.4\bin
    
     C:\>gem install pg
     Temporarily enhancing PATH to include DevKit...
     Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
     Successfully installed pg-0.10.1
     1 gem installed
     Installing ri documentation for pg-0.10.1...
     Installing RDoc documentation for pg-0.10.1...
    
     C:\>
    

So, here's a recap successful steps for installation on Windows XP:

ran rubyinstaller-1.9.2-p180.exe
Selected path: C:\Ruby\192  (note: default was Ruby192, I isolated the 192)
	Added Ruby to the Path
	Associated rb with this installation
Confirmed install: opened DOS console:

	C:\Documents and Settings\jlpoole>ruby -v
	ruby 1.9.2p180 (2011-02-18) [i386-mingw32]

	C:\Documents and Settings\jlpoole>

In C:\Downloads\Ruby, DevKit-tdm-32-4.5.1-20101214-1400-sfx.exe and specified the extraction directory: C:\Ruby\devkit
ran "ruby dk.rb init"
verified in C:\Ruby\devkit\confi.yml: "- C:/Ruby/192"

Then:

	C:\>set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Progra~1\PostgreSQL\8.4\bin

	C:\>gem install pg
	Temporarily enhancing PATH to include DevKit...
	Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
	Successfully installed pg-0.10.1
	1 gem installed
	Installing ri documentation for pg-0.10.1...
	Installing RDoc documentation for pg-0.10.1...

	C:\>

Subsequent to getting this to work, I learned of the DBI module, and since I come from Perl and use DBI extensively, the DBI and Pg combination looks to be a more adaptable solution.

Above was focused on getting a successful install confirmation, it did not test whether the install actually worked.

It looks like pg is installing okay, but when it actually is called upon, it fails. A simple file:

#!/usr/bin/ruby
require 'pg'

results in:

D:\work\Ruby>ruby test_postgres_basic_pg.rb
<internal:lib/rubygems/custom_require>:29:in `require': no such file to load --

        from test_postgres_basic_pg.rb:2:in `<main>'

This has ramification downstream, as I installed the DBD-pg module and it appears to install okay, but then fails when actually called to use.

Here's a log of my system (fresh 1.9.2 install):

I'm not sure why your installation is failing, but it looks as if the gem is only half-installed. If you look in 'C:/Ruby/192/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/pg-0.10.1/lib/1.9', is there a pg_ext.so?

I'm having the same issue with Ruby 1.8.7 + DevKit. The gem installs and compiles correctly, but when I try to require the gem I get:

require 'rubygems'

Okay, the version-qualified extension should only be loaded as a fallback for an error while loading the one under pg-0.10.1/lib, which means there's probably an exception being raised when it loads pg_ext from the lib/ directory. Can either of you try running the programming with debugging enabled (-d option for either irb or ruby) to hopefully show the earlier error?

Thanks.

On a different machine, but running Windows XP, I installed Ruby, the DevKit, and PostgreSQL (9.0) and was able to reproduce the problem. Attached are my install notes and the requested attempt using the debug "-d" flag.

Very mysterious. This part of the error message is the actual problem:

Exception `LoadError' at C:/Ruby/192/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/pg-0.10.1/lib/pg_ext.so - 126: 
The specified module could not be found.   - 
C:/Ruby/192/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/pg-0.10.1/lib/pg_ext.so

But then immediately afterwards, your 'dir' in 'C:/Ruby/192/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/pg-0.10.1/lib' shows that pg_ext.so is indeed there.

I suspect the dialog it shows ("This application has failed to start because LIBPQ.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix the problem") is the root cause. Unfortunately, I don't know what the fix for that is. It looks like some problem with the PostgreSQL client library, but I don't know enough about Windows programming to be able to diagnose it.

Here's what I did. Note, this is in the Ruby 1.9.2 environment, not the 1.8.7 which is what I ultimately desire since 1.8.7 is what SketchUp uses.

Next: I'll try in the Ruby 1.8.6 environment.

Also, what does it mean that a bug is placed on HOLD? I've changed the status from HOLD to OPEN pending to prompt an answer to this question. If two people and three machines cannot get the code working, doesn't that indicate a bug somewhere that should remain open until determined what causes the problem (or the discrepancy among environments)?

I'm leaving the status to OPEN, but as far as I am concerned, I've achieved my goal of connecting to PostgreSQL from Ruby 1.8.6. I leave it to the maintainers of this code to classify the status of this issue.

I'll be happy to help test by 0.9.0 and 0.10.x do not work since there seems to be an issue with others recreating the problem.

"On hold" to me means that the conversation has ceased, and so I'm not going to look at it again until someone replies. Changing it from "on hold" back to "open", especially as the original ticket-opener seems perfectly acceptable to me if you're also providing some new information.

This ticket has gotten quite cluttered with comments and I'm not sure who's still watching besides you and I, so I'm going to close it since you've achieved your goal.

I'm planning on releasing a new version later today with binary, statically-compiled Windows gems, which should go a long way towards fixing the situation for Windows users.

Anyway, thanks for your excellent bug reports.

I forgot to mention: if you're still watching this ticket, and you still have problems with the version I'm going to release in a few hours, Then please open a new ticket, include your 'mkmf.log' if you're installing via the DevKit instead of a binary gem, and include any errors you see.

Thanks.

fyi

I have got the very same problem when trying to use gem pg 0.17.0 (or pg 0.17.1) with ruby v2.1.3 (and pik) and PostgreSQL 9.3:

  • After installing pg there is a missing 2.1 folder under lib and I receive the following problem when running rake db:migrate

C:\railsprojects\project>rake db:migrate
DL is deprecated, please use Fiddle
rake aborted!
LoadError: cannot load such file -- 2.1/pg_ext
C:/railsprojects/project/config/application.rb:10:in <top (required)>' C:/railsprojects/project/Rakefile:5:in <top (required)>'
LoadError: cannot load such file -- pg_ext
C:/railsprojects/timeoverflow/config/application.rb:10:in <top (required)>' C:/railsprojects/timeoverflow/Rakefile:5:in <top (required)>'
(See full trace by running task with --trace)

  • Even if I try to copy pg_ext from existing 2.0 folder into a new created 2.1 folder does not work. File can be found but similar error shows stating that cannot be loaded.

C:\railsprojects\project>rake db:migrate
DL is deprecated, please use Fiddle
rake aborted!
LoadError: 126: The specified module could not be found. -** C:/tools/ruby213/li

(See full trace by running task with --trace)

  • Even enabling PATH to PostgreSQL 9.3 bin and/or copying all DLLs from PostgreSQL to that 2.1 folder won't help

  • I have performed the uninstall - reinstall steps recommended from previous posts but this does not help either.

I just pushed the latest binary gems for Windows as pre-release on rubygems.org. You should be able to gem install pg --pre. If not, please open a new ticket.
