When I run
$ gem install pg
I get the following

What does the "sh: : command not found" mean?
Is this the reason why the installation is failing?
Background:
- I am using Cygwin
- I used the one click installer of PostgreSQL
- The pg_config.exe file is located at C/Program Files/PostgreSQL/9.0/bin/pg-config.exe
- The libpq-fe.h file is located at C/Program Files/PostgreSQL/9.0/include/libpq-fe.h
