Installing perl DBD:Pg on Mac

Question

I run:

perl -MCPAN -e 'install Bundle::DBD::Pg'

it asks:

Path to pg_config? 

I say:

/Library/PostgreSQL/9.3/bin/pg_config

it runs... and the last lines are:

I saw a DBI_USER config turn to jgp (my login) which i also created in the DB.

Any hint on where I should start?

As requested, here is the full test result:

I must admit I am new to perl and PostgreSQL.

Answer 1

It looks like this has been fixed but not yet included in a new release. Apparently, "Postgres got less chatty in 9.3."

There's a developer release available on CPAN (v2.20.1_6). To install:

cpan TURNSTEP/DBD-Pg-2.20.1_6.tar.gz

or you could pull the latest source with git.

Answer 2

this worked for me, I only had to answer the pg_config question, to which my answer was: /Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/9.5/bin/pg_config
