Answer 1

Some correction. For those who have installed postgres using homebrew.

1) write the following line in your ~/.bash_profile

export ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64"

2) restart console

3) execute following command

bundle config build.pg --with-pg-config=/usr/local/Cellar/postgresql/9.3.5_1/bin/pg_config (this has to be your pg config address, can differ for each depending on versions of postgres)

4) Install pg once locally by running this command

sudo env ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64" gem install pg -- --with-pg-config=/usr/local/Cellar/postgresql/9.3.5_1/bin/pg_config

5) bundle install
