Why can't the pg gem be installed in AWS Elastic Beanstalk?


In .ebextensions/packages.config:

packages:  yum:    postgresql-devel: []

This will ensure any new instances will have this lib installed


In .ebextensions/packages.config

packages:  yum:    postgresql-devel: []

The important thing to note is that you need to set postgresql-devel to match the lib for your postgresql version. e.g., if you have postgresql 9.4.5 you need to install a postgresql-develXX.

Using yum list you will be able to identify the correct lib.
