gdk install - recipe for target 'postgresql/data' failed

The output of the gdk install command.

The last few lines:

16:35:23 redis.1                 | 6407:M 23 Sep 16:35:23.393 * The server is now ready to accept connections at /home/jaredr/development/gitlab-development-kit/redis/redis.socket

Makefile:132: recipe for target 'postgresql/data' failed

I have all the prerequisites installed. I was able to gdk run just a couple days without errors. I pulled down the latest changes from upstream and then I was getting an ActiveRecord::PendingMigrationError when I tried to bring up my local install of GitLab http://i.imgur.com/90Jx1br.png.

I wasn't sure what I needed to do to correct this so I wiped out my local install, purged everything to do with postgres on my system, and started over. That's when this error when running gdk install started happening.

I am sure this is just user error but any advice would be greatly appreciated.
