I'm trying to run bundle install on a new machine. I just installed postgres.app and restarted terminal. running bundle install in my app returns this error.

Gem::Installer::ExtensionBuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

An error occurred while installing pg (0.18.1), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install pg -v '0.18.1'` succeeds before bundling.

Would be grateful for any suggestions on how to solve this. Thanks for your time!

I think, if you install this package libpq-dev, it helps. You can install it like: sudo apt-get install libpq-dev. For further information, you can check out this website as well: https://gorails.com/setup/ubuntu/15.04.

Thank you for the answer but I'm getting a "apt-get: command not found" error
I asumed , your OS is a Debian based. That is why if you want to install that package , you have to run apt-get. Anyway, based on the OS you are running, you can modify the command accordingly.
