only the the postgresql.ebuild installs /usr/bin/pg_config. libpq.ebuild should install it too. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge libpq 2. emerge libpqxx Actual Results: configure script can't find pg_config because it dosn't exist on the system. Expected Results: libpq installs pg_config and so libpxx configure script can build.

(In reply to comment #0) > only the the postgresql.ebuild installs /usr/bin/pg_config. > libpq.ebuild should install it too. Please, post some error messages and ebuild version. Multiple ebuilds cannot install the same file, it would cause collision-protect error.
The ebuild versions: libpqxx-2.5.5 libpq-8.1.0 (postgresql-8.1.0 for the pg_config file) The libpqxx ebuild fails at the configure check for pg_config, because libpq don't provide one. So ether libpq should provide it and postgresql don't or the libpqxx configure file should be patched. I will provide exact the ebuild error next Monday.

Make sure this is in your command path before configuring. Without it, the configure script has no way to find the right location for the libpq library and its headers.
I have the same problem.
*** Bug 140813 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Fixed with the latest version bump(s) of libpq and postgresql: libpq now installs pg_config.
