Postgres not installing in Bundler (Ruby on Rails)

I am getting pretty desperate, i have tried every answer on the subject but nothing seems to work.

the error log looks like this:

Gem::Ext::BuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

Gem files will remain installed in /Users/kevinegstorf/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p643/gems/pg-0.18.2 for inspection.

An error occurred while installing pg (0.18.2), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install pg -v '0.18.2'` succeeds before bundling.

Installing gem install pg -v '0.18.2' gives me back the same error I hope someone can help me. tnx

If you already install Postgres.app in Mac, you should copy /Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Version/9.4/bin/pg_config to another place. For example /home/pg_config

then run

bundle config build.pg --with-pg-config=/home/pg_config
bundle install

You should find your pg_config file and add it to the build command:

bundle config build.pg --with-pg-config=/usr/local/bin/pg_config

Since your pg_config file is located at /usr/local/bin/pg_config Did you try the command(edited) above?

If that doesn't help maybe try:

env ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64" gem install pg
