postgres-pr (0.6.1) is Working
for Berin Loritsch (Windows, over 2 years ago)

In order to get this working in Ruby 1.9, you have to hand edit one of the files. Open the "postgres-pr/postgres-compat.rb" file in your editor, and add the following method to the PGconn class:

def quote_ident(name)
%("#{name}")
end

It will work (albeit slowly) without any compilation whatsoever.

postgres-pr (0.5.1) is Failing
for Don Park (GNU/Linux, over 3 years ago)

gem installs, but tries to load 'readbytes' which is ruby 1.8 only. i imagine ruby 1.9 has internalized this functionality.
