Can't install pg gem

I have the following problem when trying to install the pg gem. My OS is Ubuntu 12.10. I've already installed postgresql (via the installer from the postgres page). I've also done apt-get install of libpq5 and libpq-dev. This is the error:

ERROR:  Error installing pg:
    ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

        /home/sauronnikko/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p385/bin/ruby extconf.rb

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
    --with-opt-include
    --without-opt-include=${opt-dir}/include
    --with-opt-lib
    --without-opt-lib=${opt-dir}/lib

    --curdir

    --with-pg-lib
    --without-pg-lib=${pg-dir}/lib
    --with-pg-config
    --without-pg-config
    --with-pg_config
    --without-pg_config
    --with-pqlib
    --without-pqlib
    --with-libpqlib
    --without-libpqlib
    --with-ms/libpqlib
    --without-ms/libpqlib

Can you help me? Thanks
