Is there a "work with any > version" statement in Fink? ...but you can't work with any, necessarily, because under your example if someone built against the 8.2 libaries, uninstalled 8.2, and installed 7.4, the dpkg database would still consider it valid, but your binaries wouldn't run. You need to pick a version and go with it -- if you only use the libraries, and don't depend on a database, then you can always change it in the future when a new postgres comees out, and rev up. Unless you have a reason to do otherwise, builddep on postgresql82-dev, and dep on postgresql82-shlibs (and if you need a running database, on postgresql82 as well) - -- Benjamin Reed a.k.a.
