[Doug Barton]

I have postgresql-client-8.4.8 newly installed on a clean system and got
the following in databases/rubygem-pg:

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.
