Ruby+PostgreSQL on Ubuntu
This extends the earlier post on installing and configuring Ruby 3.3.0 on Ubuntu 22.0.4. Please refer to that earlier post to install Ruby. This post shows you how to install the necessary libraries and Ruby Gems for PostgreSQL.
You need to install the libra-dev package, as shown:
sudo apt install postgresql libpq-dev |

Next, you need to install the PG Gem:
gem install pg |

You can now write a postgres_version.rb program to verify a connection to the PostgreSQL database, like:
# Include Ruby Gem libraries. require 'rubygems' require 'pg' # Begin block. begin # Create a new connection resource. db = PG::connect( 'localhost', 5432, '', '', 'videodb', 'student', 'student') # Create a result set. stmt = db.query('SELECT version() AS version') # Read through the result set hash. stmt.each do | row | puts "#{row['version']}" end # Release the result set resources. stmt.freeze rescue PG::Error => e # Print the error. puts "ERROR #{e.error} (#{e.sqlstate})" puts "Can't connect to the PostgreSQL database specified." # Signal an error. exit 1 ensure # Close the connection when it is open. db.close if db end |
Call the postgres_version.rb program with this syntax:
ruby mysql_version.rb |
It should return:
PostgreSQL 14.10 (Ubuntu 14.10-0ubuntu0.22.04.1) on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc (Ubuntu 11.4.0-1ubuntu1~22.04) 11.4.0, 64-bit |
The postgres_columns.rb script returns a couple columns concatenated into a single column:
# Include Ruby Gem libraries. require 'rubygems' require 'pg' # Begin block. begin # Create a new connection resource. db = PG::connect( 'localhost', 5432, '', '', 'videodb', 'student', 'student') # Create a result set. stmt = db.query("SELECT CONCAT(nh.last_name, ', ', nh.first_name) AS name " + \ "FROM new_hire nh " + \ "ORDER BY nh.last_name") # Read through the result set hash. stmt.each do | row | out = "" i = 0 while i < stmt.fields.count() # Check when not last column and use the: # - Hash returned by the result set for the value, and # - String array value returned by the statement object # as the name value of the hash by leveraging its # numeric index. if i < stmt.fields.count() - 1 out += "#{row[stmt.fields[i]]}" out += ", " else out += "#{row[stmt.fields[i]]}" end i += 1 end puts "#{out}" end # Release the result set resources. stmt.freeze rescue PG::Error => e # Print the error. puts "ERROR #{e.error} (#{e.sqlstate})" puts "Can't connect to PostgreSQL database specified." # Signal an error. exit 1 ensure # Close the connection when it is open. db.close if db end |
Call the postgres_columns.rb program with this syntax:
ruby mysql_columns.rb |
It should return:

As always, I hope this helps those looking to learn and solve a problem. You can find the PG Gem documentation here.
Ruby GEM Mongo
While trying to use the Ruby gem utility to install the MongoDB gem, I encountered an error on a new Fedora 27 instance. This is the error message:
Fetching: bson-4.3.0.gem (100%)
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing mongo:

There wasn’t much on the error but I checked the Ruby installation and ruby-devel package wasn’t installed by default. That’s odd since I choose to install the development components on the workstation.
Not a problem, I simply ran the yum utility as root through a sudoer user to install the ruby-devel package:
yum install -y ruby-devel |
You should see a successful installation log like:

As I suspected, it fixed the problem immediately when I ran gem utility to install the mongo gem. The syntax to install the mongo gem is:
gem install mongo |
The console output should be:

You can now write and run a Ruby test MongoDB connection program. Here’s a basic MongoDBTest.rb Ruby file:
#!/usr/bin/ruby # Require libraries. require 'rubygems' require 'mongo' # Create a new connection to MongoDB. $client = Mongo::Client.new(['localhost']) puts 'Connected to MongoDB' puts '====================' puts 'Database Names:' puts '---------------' $client.database_names.each{|name| puts name} |
After you create the MongoDBTest.rb file, you need to change its permissions with the chmod utility as follows:
chmod 755 MongoDBTest.rb |
Then, you can run it as follows from the directory where you created the file:
./MongoDBTest.rb |
Unless you’ve added something to the base MongoDB instance, it should print:
Connected to MongoDB ==================== Database Names: --------------- admin local |
As always, I hope this helps somebody looking for a straightforward example and solution.
Install Ruby on Fedora
I use a Fedora 20 VM image to teach Oracle and MySQL technology. Last week, I expanded the Fedora VM image to support a full LAMP stack. This blog shows you how to install Ruby on Fedora and successfully generate the Rails gems.
Connect as the root user and use yum to install the libraries. My approach is by library or small groups. Naturally, you start with the ruby library.
yum install ruby |

One more to go. You can’t run the Ruby gem utility to create the nokogiri Ruby Gem on Fedora because of a library mismatch. If you attempt to create the Rails framework, like this:
gem install rails |
It’ll raise the following error message on trying to dynamically link the nokogiri Ruby Gem. The error will be something like this, and unfortunately, the log files won’t be too useful:
Running patch with /usr/local/share/gems/gems/nokogiri-1.6.6.2/ports/patches/libxml2/0001-Revert-Missing-initialization-for-the-catalog-module.patch... Running 'patch' for libxml2 2.9.2... ERROR, review '/usr/local/share/gems/gems/nokogiri-1.6.6.2/ext/nokogiri/tmp/x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu/ports/libxml2/2.9.2/patch.log' to see what happened. *** extconf.rb failed *** Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of necessary libraries and/or headers. Check the mkmf.log file for more details. You may need configuration options. |
The error message isn’t very helpful but the fix is fortunately easy. You install the nokogiri Ruby Gem directly with the yum utility. The following instructs yum to proceed without waiting for you to type a y to install.
yum install -y rubygem-nokogiri |
Loaded plugins: langpacks, refresh-packagekit Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package rubygem-nokogiri.x86_64 0:1.6.6.2-1.fc20 will be installed --> Finished Dependency Resolution Dependencies Resolved ================================================================================ Package Arch Version Repository Size ================================================================================ Installing: rubygem-nokogiri x86_64 1.6.6.2-1.fc20 updates 534 k Transaction Summary ================================================================================ Install 1 Package Total download size: 534 k Installed size: 834 k Downloading packages: rubygem-nokogiri-1.6.6.2-1.fc20.x86_64.rpm | 534 kB 00:00 Running transaction check Running transaction test Transaction test succeeded Running transaction (shutdown inhibited) Installing : rubygem-nokogiri-1.6.6.2-1.fc20.x86_64 1/1 Verifying : rubygem-nokogiri-1.6.6.2-1.fc20.x86_64 1/1 Installed: rubygem-nokogiri.x86_64 0:1.6.6.2-1.fc20 Complete! |
Now you can use the Ruby gem utility to create the Rails framework like this:
gem install rails |
This will take a couple minutes typically, so be patient. You see something like this, dependent on the release:

If you want to install Phusion Passenger, mod_passenger is already installed. You should note that support and testing for this stops at Fedora V17. You can verify installation with the following command:
yum list mod_passenger |
It returns:
Loaded plugins: langpacks, refresh-packagekit
Available Packages
mod_passenger.x86_64 4.0.53-3.fc20.2 updates |
You can also install the Ruby Gem for Passenger, like this:
gem install passenger |
It should take less than 2 minutes and return something like this:
Fetching: passenger-5.0.6.gem (100%) Building native extensions. This could take a while... Successfully installed passenger-5.0.6 Parsing documentation for passenger-5.0.6 Installing ri documentation for passenger-5.0.6 Done installing documentation for passenger after 9 seconds 1 gem installed |
As always, I hope this was helpful. I’ll add a post with the remaining MySQL and Oracle connection details soon.
