It's a "repo copy stub" for the forthcoming release, that the maintainer really should've marked as broken, until he and PostgreSQL is done with it. -- Mel ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Wow, you're right. That actually DOES build normally! :) Got files in the designated include dir, and it built a working pg_config. I should have looked better, instead of just picking the highest-version server. Still, makes you wonder, if the postgresql84-server port is so incredibly broken, why even include it? (Could also be it just purposely omits writing files in the include dir and making the pg_config, precisely because it's beta). At any rate, it's all working now.

If I go to the /usr/ports/databases/postgresql84-server/ directory, it actually downloads and builds a 8.3.7 version; so the name version difference is not my fault. - Mark ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

You're message initially references an incomplete build of PostgreSQL 8.3.7;
but ends asking about PostgreSQL 8.4. Which are you trying to build?
I would expect version 8.3.* to build normally. PostgreSQL 8.4, however, is
still in beta ("Beta 1" according to their website.)
Best of luck,
Andrew
