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.

Gem files will remain installed in /home/git/gitlab/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.0.0/gems/pg-0.15.1 for inspection.
Results logged to /home/git/gitlab/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.0.0/gems/pg-0.15.1/ext/gem_make.out
An error occurred while installing pg (0.15.1), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install pg -v '0.15.1'` succeeds before bundling.
I felt that this was the most appropriate place for the package change since it is PostgreSQL specific.
