ruby on rails - Can't find the PostgreSQL client library (libpq)

Question

I'm trying to install PostgreSQL for Rails on Mac OS X 10.6. First I tried the MacPorts install but that didn't go well so I did the one-click DMG install. That seemed to work.

I suspect I need to install the PostgreSQL development packages but I have no idea how to do that on OS X.

Here's what I get when I try to do sudo gem install pg:

$ sudo gem install pg
