Postgresql error on bundle install

I think this is a common problem, however the solutions I've found on the internet are not working for me. When I run bundle install with this section in my gemfile

group :production, :staging do
  gem "pg"
end

group :development, :test do
  gem "sqlite3-ruby", :require => "sqlite3"
end

I get the following error

creating Makefile

make
compiling gvl_wrappers.c
compiling pg.c
pg.c: In function ‘Init_pg_ext’:
pg.c:375: error: ‘PQPING_OK’ undeclared (first use in this function)
pg.c:375: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
pg.c:375: error: for each function it appears in.)
pg.c:377: error: ‘PQPING_REJECT’ undeclared (first use in this function)
pg.c:379: error: ‘PQPING_NO_RESPONSE’ undeclared (first use in this function)
pg.c:381: error: ‘PQPING_NO_ATTEMPT’ undeclared (first use in this function)
make: *** [pg.o] Error 1


Gem files will remain installed in /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p194/gems/pg-0.16.0 for inspection.
Results logged to /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p194/gems/pg-0.16.0/ext/gem_make.out

Next step, according to what I've found, is to run locate pg_config, then place the location after the gem install pgcommand line statement. However, I get this error instead: 

WARNING: The locate database (/var/db/locate.database) does not exist.
To create the database, run the following command:

sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.locate.plist

Please be aware that the database can take some time to generate; once
the database has been created, this message will no longer appear.

I then run the sudo command, and get this final error....

launchctl: Couldn't stat("/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.locate.plis"): No such file or directory
nothing found to load

This is my first attempt at using this technology, brand new to Mac as well. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

EDIT

I am trying to follow the suggestions located here regarding this error.

It looks like despite what your gemfile says, you're trying to install postgres locally?

Really, that's what you should be doing. It's really non-optimal to use a different database in production to the one you use locally. I highly suggest just using Postgres everywhere, and remove sqlite.

On a Mac, the easiest route to this nirvana is to install Postgress.app
