I have been using homebrew the whole time. I've gone through some of those stack overflow posts yesterday and again just now. But nothing yet. ARGH. thank you for your help though.

eeek, should i have done the > bundle install --path vendor/bundle line instead? and postgresql was already installed also, as noted below.

Warning: postgresql-9.3.5_1 already installed

thanks for the repy chris, I should've mentioned that I did try bundle install also yesterday(though, with sudo), and the subsequent steps of using gem install pg '0.17.1', but to no avail. this is why i posted up thoughts. i'm still a new user to the mac environment and rails so i'm sort of learning on the fly.

An error occurred while installing pg (0.17.1), and Bundler cannot continue.

Make sure that `gem install pg -v '0.17.1'` succeeds before bundling.

I'm stuck on the final steps of the installation, I went to create a new rails app. Results are below. I clicked (yes) for everything after the conflict below, and then db:create after

Pears-MacBook-Pro:~ Pear$ rails new tryout -d postgresql

exist

identical README.rdoc

identical Rakefile

identical config.ru

identical .gitignore

conflict Gemfile

Overwrite /Users/Pear/tryout/Gemfile? (enter "h" for help) [Ynaqdh]

There was also
Pears-MacBook-Pro:orange Pear$ rake db:create

Could not find gem 'pg (>= 0) ruby' in the gems available on this machine.

Run `bundle install` to install missing gems.

I used homebrew and i'm on mavericks 10.9, i'm trying to find a way to add the rvm, and i've used stack overflow beforehand.

thinknig about just uninstalling everything and resetting everything up if I can't find an answer as i've been working on this for the last few hours.

Any help would be appreciated.
