Yes, I did try that. It still tries to install the gem when you run bundle install. Also the rake system seems to load enough of the environment that it needs all of the database drivers to be installed.

or for multiple gems:

gem "pg"

How did you define the pg gem in your Gemfile? Did you install any pg files locally?

When I push my code via rake, its complaining that I don't have the postgresql driver installed. And if I gem install it, it wants the postgresql software installed on my dev system. Did you end up installing all of postgresql to get the gem installed?

Thanks for the help. I've been fighting this for days.
