After updating PostgreSQL, Dovecot needed to be rebuilt, but it fails to find the necessary bits. I've tried this with dovecot 1.2.6 (x86 stable) and 1.2.9. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: emerge -1 =postgresql-base-8.4.2 emerge -1 =dovecot-1.2.6 Actual Results: ... checking whether GSSAPI supports SPNEGO... yes checking for pg_config... YES checking for PQconnectdb in -lpq... yes checking for PQescapeStringConn in -lpq... yes checking libpq-fe.h usability... no checking libpq-fe.h presence... no checking for libpq-fe.h... no configure: error: Can't build with PostgreSQL support: libpq-fe.h not found The configure failed initially like so: checking for pg_config... NO checking for PQconnectdb in -lpq... no configure: error: Can't build with PostgreSQL support: libpq not found `eselect postgresql update` fixed that. emerge --info: Portage 2.2_rc61 (default/linux/x86/10.0/desktop, gcc-4.3.4, glibc-2.10.1-r1, 2.6.31-gentoo-r6 i686) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.31-gentoo-r6-i686-Intel-R-_Pentium-R-_M_processor_1.73GHz-with-gentoo-2.0.1 Timestamp of tree: Tue, 12 Jan 2010 21:15:03 +0000 app-shells/bash: 4.0_p35 dev-java/java-config: 2.1.9-r2 dev-lang/python: 2.6.4, 3.1.1-r1 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.1.0_beta1 dev-util/cmake: 2.6.4-r3 sys-apps/baselayout: 2.0.1 sys-apps/openrc: 0.6.0 sys-apps/sandbox: 2.2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.63-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10.2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.19.1-r1 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.1 sys-devel/libtool: 2.2.6b virtual/os-headers: 2.6.28-r1 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" ACCEPT_LICENSE="* -@EULA PUEL" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium-m -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /var/lib/hsqldb" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/eselect/postgresql /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/gentoo-release /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/language.dat.d /etc/texmf/language.def.d /etc/texmf/updmap.d /etc/texmf/web2c /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium-m -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="assume-digests distlocks fixpackages news parallel-fetch preserve-libs protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-logs unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS=" ftp://gentoo.chem.wisc.edu/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.ussg.iu.edu/pub/linux/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.ndlug.nd.edu/pub/gentoo/ ftp://lug.mtu.edu/gentoo/ ftp://gentoo.cites.uiuc.edu/pub/gentoo/ ftp://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo/" LANG="en_US.UTF-8" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1" LINGUAS="en en_US" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/portage/local/layman/perl-experimental /usr/portage/local/layman/java-overlay /usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync21.us.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X a52 aac aalib acl acpi aim alsa apache2 apm audiofile bash-completion berkdb blas branding bzip2 cairo caps cdda cdparanoia cdr cli consolekit cracklib crypt cscope css cups cxx dbus dga dhcp directfb divx4linux dri dts dv dvd dvdr eds emboss encode esd evo expat fam fame fbcon ffmpeg fftw firefox flac font-server fontconfig fortran ftp gcj gd geoip gif ginac glut gmp gpm gs gstreamer gtk gtk2 hal howl iconv icq icu ieee1394 imagemagick imap imlib ipod ipv6 java java6 javascript jce joystick jpeg jpeg2k kde kerberos lame lapack latex libcaca libedit libnotify lzo mad maildir matroska mikmod mime mmx mmx2 mng modules mp3 mp4 mpeg mpi mplayer msn mtp mudflap musepack musicbrainz ncurses nfs nls nntp nptl nptlonly nsplugin offensive ogg oggvorbis openal opengl openmp pam pch pcmcia pcre pdf perl plasma plotutils png policykit posix postgres ppds pppd prelude pulseaudio python qt3support qt4 quicktime rar readline reflection rss rtc ruby samba sasl sdl session slang sockets socks5 sox speex spell spl sse sse2 ssl startup-notification subtitles subversion svg sysfs syslog sysvinc taglib tcpd tetex tga theora threads thunar tiff truetype udev unicode usb v41 vcd vim-syntax vim-with-x vorbis wavpack wifi win32codecs wxwidgets x264 x86 xcb xcomposite xft xine xinetd xml xorg xosd xpm xprint xscreensaver xulrunner xv xvid yahoo zlib" ALSA_CARDS="hda-intel" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="dav dir mime mime_magic userdir" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="evdev joystick keyboard mouse synaptics" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="en en_US" RUBY_TARGETS="ruby18" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="nv nvidia vesa" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, FFLAGS, INSTALL_MASK, LC_ALL, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS

PostgreSQL support cannot be enabled due to functionality tests! Turn on verbose messaging (-v) to ./configure to see the final report. If you believe this message is in error you may use the continue switch (-continue) to ./configure to continue. There are more errors here, but I suppose that's just optional feature detection.
what does "eselect postgresql list" say?
$ eselect postgresql list Available postgresql installations 8.4 <-* base-8.4.2-r1 I just noticed that I don't have dev-db/libpq installed.

What does 'ls -l /usr/include/postgresql' print ? That header should be there. dev-db/postgresql-base in the new layout is what dev-db/libpq was.

I rebuilt postgresql-base and the header is back... what
postgresql-base installed headers to /usr/include/postgresql-8.4 and a link is made (postgresql => postgresql-8.4) while libpq installed its headers to /usr/include/postgresql/libpq-4. My guess is that libpq removed some files f in F, where realpath(f) is owned by postgresql-base.
Perhaps ebuild of postgresql-base should be modified to unmerge libpq before merging postgresql-base. That is, if this is not a portage bug.
I had another problem. I use 8.3, got the upgrade to 8.4 and masked it because I did not want to migrate my databases at this moment. After the downgrade to 8.3 everything was fine until this qt-sql update, which revealed a stale link /usr/include/postgresql -> /usr/include/postgresql-8.4/ . Maybe the ebuild should eselect the installed version, iff theres only one slot installed in pkg_setup. There's no sense in diverting to a not installed version.
