Heroku error when launch rails3.1 app missing postgres gem - ruby-on-rails-3

I am trying to deploy to heroku.
Rails 3.1.0.rc4,
I get the following error from Heroku logs:
Starting process with command: `thin -p 48902 -e production -R /home/heroku_rack/heroku.ru start`
2011-06-20T11:25:44+00:00 app[web.1]: /app/.bundle/gems/ruby/1.9.1/gems/activerecord-3.1.0.rc4/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/connection_specification.rb:71:in `rescue in establish_connection': Please install the postgresql adapter: `gem install activerecord-postgresql-adapter` (pg is not part of the bundle. Add it to Gemfile.) (RuntimeError)
I tried to install the activerecord-postgresql-adapter but then I get this error:
Could not find gem 'activerecord-postgresql-adapter (>= 0)' in any of the gem sources listed in your Gemfile.
So I tried to add this to my gem file
gem 'pg'
which produced this error:
Installing pg (0.11.0) with native extensions /Users/imac/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p180/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/installer.rb:533:in `rescue in block in build_extensions': ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension. (Gem::Installer::ExtensionBuildError)
any ideas?

You don't have to install Postgres locally. In your Gemfile, put 'pg' in group :production, as johnny-grass suggests, and then when you run bundle, just specify --without production, like this:
bundle --without production
Unfortunately, you have to remember this argument when you run bundler, but at least you don't have to install and maintain postgres locally.
Please note that Heroku "strongly recommends against" using sqlite, saying that "Your production and development environment should be as close to identical as possible" http://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/rails3

Do you have PostgreSQL installed on your computer? If you don't then install it first, then install the pg gem.
# gemfile
group :production do
gem 'therubyracer-heroku', '0.8.1.pre3' # you will need this too
gem 'pg'
end

I found a solution in this Heroku article.
As Jared said, they suggest to create a different group for postgresql.

Rails can't install gem sqlite

Add gem 'sqlite3' to Gemfile in the root directory of your rails project. Then run bundle install and it should install sqlite and make it available to use in your rails project.
Specify git and branch for the gem sqlite3 in your Gemfile should fix the problem.
gem 'sqlite3', git: "https://github.com/larskanis/sqlite3-ruby", branch: "add-gemspec"

Replace gem 'sqlite3' with gem 'sqlite3', '~> 1.3.11' which is in Gemfile in the root directory of your rails project. Then run bundle install.

ROR + An error occurred while installing kgio (2.8.0), and Bundler cannot continue

Same Question I think : Rails-Unicorn-Install-Error-KGIO
While running bundle install, system is giving error for installing gems.

Make sure that `gem install kgio -v '2.8.0'` succeeds before bundling.
Here I am unable to install kgio gem. I tried a lot but no success. Is there any way to come out of this.
Thanks in advance.
Removed the Unicorn gem from gem list.

An error occurred while installing pg (0.12.2), and Bundler cannot continue

I'm following the Michael Hartl Ruby on Rails Tutorial & there is a part where he is he he instructs you to update your Gemfile to include:
group :production do
gem 'pg', '0.12.2'
end
And then enter the below commands in your terminal:
bundle update
bundle install --without production
When you run the bundle update command it throws back the below errors.

sample_app:$
I was able to overcome this error easily be removing the 'pg', '0.12.2' gem from the Gemfile & replacing it after running the bundle update command. This seems to work fine as the 'pg', '0.12.2' gem is aslo omitted in the without production flag in the latter bundle install --without production.
The 'pg', '0.12.2' gem is only needed for deploying to heroku with the correct database & everything works fine even when I deployed it to heroku but I'm just wondering if this is an error in the Tutorial or am I missing something bigger here?
It's also annoying to have to remove this Gem everytime I run bundle update, is bundle update really that necessary?
Thanks in Advance
I'm following the same tutorial and I think it's redundant to run update without modifying existing dependency, but in this case it's even causing problems because update command has not --without argument.
I stumbled upon Rails 3 cheatsheet which mentions bundler workflow this way:
After adding or removing dependencies from Gemfile
$ bundle
Commit Gemfile and Gemfile.lock
After modifying existing dependency versions
$ bundle update
Commit Gemfile and Gemfile.lock
I read man pages for bundle update and tried RECOMMENDED WORKFLOW which consists of running bundle update after bundle install.
In my case (some output omitted):
$ bundle install --without production
Resolving dependencies...
Using rake (10.0.3)
...
Installing rspec-core (2.11.1)
Your bundle is complete!
Gems in the group production were not installed. <-- check
$ bundle update
Resolving dependencies...
Using rake (10.0.3)
...
Using uglifier (1.2.3)
Your bundle is updated!
Gems in the group production were not installed. <-- check
I tried it with new RVM gem set and everything was installed correctly.
After that Gemfile.lock contains pg (0.12.2) and deploying to Heroku works.
RECOMMENDED WORKFLOW
In general, when working with an application managed with bundler, you
should use the following workflow:
After you create your Gemfile for the first time, run
$ bundle install
Check the resulting Gemfile.lock into version control
$ git add Gemfile.lock
When checking out this repository on another development machine, run
$ bundle install
When checking out this repository on a deployment machine, run
$ bundle install --deployment
After changing the Gemfile to reflect a new or update dependency,
run
$ bundle install
Make sure to check the updated Gemfile.lock into version control
$ git add Gemfile.lock
If bundle install reports a conflict, manually update the specific
gems that you changed in the Gemfile
$ bundle update rails thin
If you want to update all the gems to the latest possible versions
that still match the gems listed in the Gemfile, run
$ bundle update
Installation of postgres fails with this error : "Can't find the 'libpq-fe.h header"
Looks like a lot of people faced this problem, good news is : stackoverflow has the answer ;)
Can't find the 'libpq-fe.h header when trying to install pg gem
(or at least it should help you to look in the right direction)

thoughtbot / paperclip Gem installation

Im not going to start by saying i'm a newbie etc. Jokes, been learning Rails for nearly month using Lynda.com. I use Mac, Mac OS X Lion 10.7.
I am trying to intall Paperclip Gem but i can't seem to figure out what i'm doing wrong.
I followed the instructions on https://github.com/thoughtbot/paperclip/wiki/Installation
I added this line to my config/environment.rb
config.gem 'paperclip', :source => 'http://rubygems.org'
and i then tried to run
rake gems:install
I get an error message:
(in /Users/fred/Ruby/food)
rake aborted!
undefined local variable or method `config' for main:Object
/Users/fred/Ruby/food/Rakefile:4:in `require'
(See full trace by running task with --trace)
I then tried the following as an alternative when the above failed
script/plugin install git://github.com/thoughtbot/paperclip
I get the following error
-bash: script/plugin: No such file or directory
My question is how do install this gem? I have read a lot of other posts that say i should include gem 'paperclip', "~> 2.3" is this the same as what i did above?
Best to use bundler. Steps are
Install bundler: gem install bundler
Add to Gemfile: config.gem 'paperclip'
cd to where the Gemfile is and run: bundle install. This will install all the gems mentioned in the Gemfile
Ps. I assume that you are not using rvm. Also, you may need to prefix sudo to the command in step 1 above in case the command does not work for you due to a permission problem.
