Not able to install pg gem with rails

Question

I have this dreaded error:

An error occurred while installing pg (1.2.3), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install pg -v '1.2.3' --source 'https://rubygems.org/'` succeeds before bundling.

There is greatly delaying my work. Before this error comes this:

I'm wonbdering where these errors are coming from, it seems to me it can't convert something, perhaps in my rails database structure?

I can't work out where to start, I've googled and Stackoverflow searched "implicit conversion loses integer precision" and no real results I can work with. I think sql is having trouble perhaps converting my database to sql from the standard database managment from rails, perhaps? Can anyone help here

The warnings do not fail the compilation. Your problem is `ld: file not found: dynamic_lookup`.

Those are all just warnings. Your error is at the bottom:

ld: file not found: dynamic_lookup

You're missing something in your system configuration, either the xcode tools (sudo xcode-select -s /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools is usually the invocation to fix that), or you need to configure the path to pg_config, as per this answer.

If they were missing xcode tools, there would be no compilation warnings, as there would be no compilation... – Amadan Jul 30 '20 at 22:57
My experience has been that an incomplete installation sometimes breaks in interesting ways (usually after an OS X upgrade), and a reinstallation does the trick. It's kind of the OS X equivalent of "have you tried turning it off and back on again" :) – Chris Heald Jul 30 '20 at 22:59
Good point — though then the wording "xcode tools might be missing" is misleading. – Amadan Jul 30 '20 at 23:01
