error cannot install gem pg

same error for me and I didn't experience it until I downloaded OS X 10.9 (Mavericks). Sigh, another OS upgrade headache.
Here's how I fixed it (with homebrew):
Install another build of Xcode Tools (typing 'brew update' in the terminal will prompt you to update the Xcode build tools)
brew update
brew install postgresql
After that 'gem install pg' worked for me.
