Install pg gem on OSX (not brew Postgres).md

Problem:

No pg_config... trying anyway. If building fails, please try again with
 --with-pg-config=/path/to/pg_config
checking for libpq-fe.h... no
Can't find the 'libpq-fe.h header
*** extconf.rb failed ***

Try this:

$ locate libpq-fe.h
/Library/PostgreSQL/10/include/libpq-fe.h

Then:

$ gem install pg -- --with-opt-include=/Library/PostgreSQL/10/include

SUCCESS!
