I'm trying to install the pg gem in order to work again with my rails projects. But I get this error:

I tried everything I found on stackoverflow but I still get this error.
If I try to install postgresql using brew I get the following waring:
Warning: postgresql-9.2.4 already installed, it's just not linked
If I try to link
brew link postgresql Linking /usr/local/Cellar/postgresql/9.2.4...
Warning: Could not link postgresql. Unlinking...
Error: Could not symlink file:
/usr/local/Cellar/postgresql/9.2.4/share/man/man7/WITH.7
/usr/local/share/man/man7 is not writable. You should change its
permissions.
Help Please
NOTE: I already installed the command line tools for mavericks.
If I uninstall using homebrew and try to install again, I get this error:

Build Notes
If builds of PostgreSQL 9 are failing and you have version 8.x
installed, you may need to remove the previous version first. See:
https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/issues/issue/2510
Create/Upgrade a Database
If this is your first install, create a database with: initdb
/usr/local/var/postgres -E utf8
To migrate existing data from a previous major version (pre-9.2) of
PostgreSQL, see:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/static/upgrading.html
Loading Extensions
By default, Homebrew builds all available Contrib extensions. To see a
list of all available extensions, from the psql command line, run:
SELECT * FROM pg_available_extensions;
To load any of the extension names, navigate to the desired database
and run: CREATE EXTENSION [extension name];
For instance, to load the tablefunc extension in the current database,
run: CREATE EXTENSION tablefunc;
For more information on the CREATE EXTENSION command, see:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/static/sql-createextension.html For
more information on extensions, see:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/static/contrib.html
Other
Some machines may require provisioning of shared memory:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/static/kernel-resources.html#SYSVIPC
When installing the postgres gem, including ARCHFLAGS is recommended:
ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64" gem install pg
To install gems without sudo, see the Homebrew wiki.
To have launchd start postgresql at login:
ln -sfv /usr/local/opt/postgresql/*.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents Then to load postgresql now:
launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.postgresql.plist Or, if you don't
want/need launchctl, you can just run:
pg_ctl -D /usr/local/var/postgres -l /usr/local/var/postgres/server.log start Warning: Could not link
postgresql. Unlinking... Error: The brew link step did not complete
successfully The formula built, but is not symlinked into /usr/local
You can try again using `brew link postgresql'
==> Summary ?? /usr/local/Cellar/postgresql/9.2.4: 2831 files, 38M, built in 4.9 minutes
SOLUTION:
I execute this command in order to change the permission of the folder:
sudo chown jeanosorio /usr/local/share/man/man7
Then
brew link postgresql Linking /usr/local/Cellar/postgresql/9.3.1... 421
symlinks created
And finally:
sudo ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64" gem install pg
Fetching: pg-0.17.0.gem (100%) Building native extensions. This could
take a while... Successfully installed pg-0.17.0
