Can't bundle Postgresql

When trying to run bundle install I get the following error

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

    current directory: /Users/seque1990/.rbenv/versions/2.2.2/lib/ruby/gems/2.2.0/gems/pg-0.18.4/ext

    --without-pg-lib=${pg-dir}/lib

To see why this extension failed to compile, please check the mkmf.log which can be found here:

  /Users/seque1990/.rbenv/versions/2.2.2/lib/ruby/gems/2.2.0/extensions/x86_64-darwin-15/2.2.0-static/pg-0.18.4/mkmf.log

extconf failed, exit code 1

Gem files will remain installed in /Users/seque1990/.rbenv/versions/2.2.2/lib/ruby/gems/2.2.0/gems/pg-0.18.4 for inspection.
Results logged to /Users/seque1990/.rbenv/versions/2.2.2/lib/ruby/gems/2.2.0/extensions/x86_64-darwin-15/2.2.0-static/pg-0.18.4/gem_make.out

After getting that I did brew install postgresql but it tells me that it is already installed but not linked.

Then I tried brew link postgresql but it tells me:

Error: Could not symlink share/man/man3/SPI_connect.3 /usr/local/share/man/man3 is not writable.

Not sure how to proceed. :(

If your using ubuntu machine then,

sudo apt-get install postgresql
sudo apt-get install libpq-dev

And Then,gem install pg

For oSx, you need to specify the pg_config path

gem install pg -- --with-pg-config=`which pg_config`

which pg_config gives you the file path where it is installed.
