Unable to install postgresql::ruby on Ubuntu 14.04 about postgresql HOT 11 CLOSED

Note that this is not an issue with building the pg gem like #165 is. It's not even trying to build the gem - and when I try to build the gem manually (as I mentioned), that works just fine.

Any resolution to this? I'm having the exact same problem. I've tried different versions of Chef-Solo and a different version of the Postgresql cookbook to no avail.

Solution is with Issue #168 and the repository to use is found in PR #169

Thanks Hulu, I tried that repo with the wait modification as well. That didn't work for me. I'm exploring other avenues.

Just a note, the chef_gem resource uses the embedded chef-client ruby. I could be wrong but I think that the database cookbook (which depends on the postgresql::ruby recipe) uses the embedded gems. If you install it correctly to the system it will fail with this LoadError because it doesn't exist in the chef embedded environment. I could be wrong but that is what I have seen from experience. Put this repo in your Berksfile or whatever you use for cookbook management.
cookbook 'postgresql', git: 'https://github.com/SimonKaluza/postgresql.git'

Try on a fresh converge also.

Hey Hulu - Thanks for the followup. I think you described my situation exactly as I'm calling postgresql::ruby from the database cookbook. I've spent some time on this and am using a different method to create a postgres db and user but hopefully this will help someone else. I'll post back if I attempt above. Thanks!

you can add

execute 'apt-get update' do
  action :run
end

before: include_recipe "postgresql::ruby"

does it help?

@alovak It looks like the current version of the cookbook already does this in the ruby recipe:
https://github.com/hw-cookbooks/postgresql/blob/develop/recipes/ruby.rb#L25-L30

Additionally, I attempted to include_recipe 'apt::default' in my wrapper, which does this as well. Unfortunately, this yielded the same result in my case.

@hulu1522 It looks like the patch in the referenced fork has already been landed... Unfortunately for me, this issue is still present.

@kohenkatz
I was hoping to provide a solution here, but I am still digging around to find the root cause of the issue. I tried installing the package postgresql-server-dev-9.3 to see if somehow there were excluded and required headers, but that did not seem to resolve the issue.

I will post an update if I find a fix... but let me know if you have had better luck since. Thanks!

It appears that this issue only happens when Chef is installed as a gem, as far as I can tell.

I switched from using the Chef Gem to using Omnibus, and I was able to get it working correctly once. After that one time, instead of this issue, I see the COOK-1406 issue. I can't figure out the difference between that one time that worked and all the other times that didn't though.

Actually, scratch the second part of my last update. It still shows the error message, but then it actually does build the gem properly. According to this site, this is the expected behavior now.
