While I happen to track experimental,unstable, and everything below on
my workstation, I have rails and postgres working just fine.

In case you use Debians unstable, it seems you have to use gem out of
CVS.

As for the postgres question, here are the packages I have installed,
libpgsql-ruby1.8
libdbd-pg-ruby1.8
libdbi-ruby1.8
