Hello,

After having upgraded our installed ports this morning we have a few
machines that no longer want to play with ruby, dbi and postgres. This
is the output I get when trying to do this in irb:

irb(main):001:0> require 'dbi'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> dbh = DBI.connect("DBI:Pg:test","test","test")
DBI::InterfaceError: Could not load driver (Could not find driver Pg or pg (error:
no such file to load -- pg))

    from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/dbi.rb:145:in `connect'
    from (irb):2

I have tried to reinstall ruby and all of its dependencies, but no luck.

upgraded this morning (iirc) are:

ruby18-aspectr-0.3.5
