Centos 6.9 (similar to question: Can't find the PostgreSQL client library (libpq) but that one is on MacOS not Centos, so those solutions did not work
ruby 2.1.8 (tried 2.2)
rails 4.2.6 (tried 5.0)
postgres 9.3
I am trying to install the pg gem with:
gem install pg -- --with-pqlib=/usr/lib64/libpqxx-4.0.so --with-pg-config=/usr/pgsql-9.3/bin/pg_config
I keep trying to feed it different libraries but the one it is getting stuck on is some PQconnectdb() function. Error below
Rails used to be installed on this computer with pg but something happend after an update.. Any ideas here?

Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of necessary

Have you tried this?
$ sudo su
$ env ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64" gem install pg
I had a linux brew package manager, which had some old dependencies that messed with the pg gem install.
The answer is:
Remove [linux brew][1]

gem install pg -- --with-pg-config=/usr/pgsql-9.3/bin/pg_config
