How to Pass a Parameter for Gem Installation When I Run Bundle Install

How can I pass a parameter for gem installation when I run bundle install?

You need to set a build config option like so:

bundle config build.pg --with-pg-config=/path/to/pg_config

More info can be found in the bundle config command documentation

RVM doesn't recognize installed gem, so bundle install fails

Finally found answer: How can I pass a parameter for gem installation when I run bundle install?

So in my case:

bundle config build.pg --with-pg-include=/usr/pgsql-9.3/include --with-pg-dir=/usr/pgsql-9.3
bundle install

And that took a day, well could have been worse

Bundler installing gem that's already installed

Try running bundle env to verify that the install location is what you expect.

If not, check whether there is a .bundle/config or ~/.bundle/config file overriding the install path. The output of bundle env will tell you what configuration it is using and how it was determined (i.e., which file it was in or whether it was picked up from an environment variable).
