The app-misc/sphinx ebuilds (currently 0.9.7 and 0.9.8_pre1065) do not enable support for postgresql, although the do support the 'postgres' USE flag. The ebuild uses the use-with()function: Like this: $(use_with postgres) \ But the package's configure script uses --with-pgsql for enabling postgresql. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.USE="postgres" emerge sphinx 2.Watch the configure script that says:checking whether to compile with PostgreSQL support... no 3.

I managed to get it working by doing this: Replacing src_compile() from this: src_compile() { econf \ $(use_with mysql) \ $(use_with postgres) \ $(use_with debug) || die "econf failed" emake || die "emake failed" } To this: src_compile() { if use postgres; then conf_opts="${conf_opts} --with-pgsql" fi econf \ $(use_with mysql) \ $(use_with debug) \ ${conf_opts} || die "econf failed" emake || die "emake failed" }

(In reply to comment #1) $(use_with postgres pgsql) is a lot shorter solution. :)
fixed in latest version. Thanks for the report.
