メモです。
PostgreSQLをインストールしたいがCentOS公式リポジトリのものはバージョンが古い。最新の9.2を使いたいぜ！
そんな時はこちら↓のyumリポジトリを追加する方法でパッケージインストールするのが良いっぽい。
≫ PostgreSQL: Linux downloads (RedHat/CentOS/Fedora/Scientific)
# rpm -i http://yum.postgresql.org/9.2/redhat/rhel-6.3-x86_64/pgdg-centos92-9.2-5.noarch.rpm
# yum install postgresql92 postgresql92-server postgresql92-devel postgresql92-contrib
# service postgresql-9.2 initdb
# service postgresql-9.2 start
# chkconfig postgresql-9.2 on
でも、Rubyから利用するために、gem install pgするとガッツリとエラーが出ます。
$ gem install pg

Gem files will remain installed in /home/web/jb/vendor/bundle/ruby/1.9.1/gems/pg-0.14.1 for inspection.
Results logged to /home/web/jb/vendor/bundle/ruby/1.9.1/gems/pg-0.14.1/ext/gem_make.out
An error occurred while installing pg (0.14.1), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install pg -v '0.14.1'` succeeds before bundling.
pg_configが無いと言われていますが、PATHが通っていないだけなのでPATHを通せばokです。
export PATH=/usr/pgsql-9.2/bin:$PATH
