I'm trying to upgrade world, which includes upgrading app-admin/apache-tools from 2.2.8 to 2.2.9. The compile fails because the linker can't find libpq.so. The exact error message is: /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.2/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lpq It seems ld is being invoked by libtool. Sample failing command line: /usr/bin/libtool --silent --mode=link i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -pthread -march=k8 -O2 -pipe -Wl,--no-as-needed -L/usr/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient_r -lz -lpthread -lcrypt -lnsl -lm -L/usr/lib -lssl -lcrypto -Wl,--no-as-needed -o htdigest htdigest.lo -L/usr/lib -lpcre /usr/lib/libaprutil-1.la -lgdbm -lpq -lmysqlclient_r -lexpat /usr/lib/libapr-1.la -luuid -lrt -lcrypt -lpthread -ldl I have dev-db/postgresql-base-8.3.1 installed, which provides libpq.so, libpq.so.5, and libpq.so.5.1, all in /usr/lib/postgresql-8.3/lib. I assume the problem is that /usr/lib/postgresql-8.3/lib is not in the library search path for ld and the nonexistence of /usr/lib/libpq.so is causing the failure. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Make sure libpq.so is in /usr/lib/postgresql-8.3/lib, possibly by installing postgresql-base-8.3.1 2. Try to install apache-tools-2.2.9 Actual Results: Failure to compile--can't find libpq. Expected Results: Successful compile.

Starting from a more-or-less 'clean' gentoo 2008.0 stage3 on HPPA with gcc-4.3.2: gcc43 ~ # USE=postgres emerge -pv apache-tools [ebuild N ] dev-libs/apr-1.3.2 USE="-debug -doc -urandom" 0 kB [ebuild N ] dev-db/libpq-8.0.15 USE="nls pam readline ssl zlib -kerberos -pg-intdatetime -threads" 0 kB [ebuild N ] virtual/postgresql-base-8.0 0 kB [ebuild N ] dev-libs/apr-util-1.3.2 USE="berkdb gdbm postgres -doc -freetds -ldap -mysql -odbc -sqlite -sqlite3" 0 kB [ebuild N ] app-admin/apache-tools-2.2.9 USE="ssl" 0 kB this merge went without apparent problems. * dev-db/libpq-8.0.15 installs the library in /usr/lib/ with the usual symlinks - no subdirectories * apache-tools doesn't actually USE, link or depend on postgresql or its libraries. strange that it tried to link libpq in your case * apr-util is the one who actually links libpq and it depends on virtual/postgresql-base if USE=postgres * apr-util correctly linked to libpq on my system after installing dev-db/libpq-8.0.15 (files /usr/lib/apr-util-1/apr_dbd_pgsql*) you talk about postgresql-base-8.3.1 but every single dev-db/postgresql-base ebuild is masked. Also >=virtual/postgresql-base-8.1 and >=dev-db/libpq-8.1* are masked. there seem to be some conflicts between dev-db/libpq and dev-db/postgresql-base, see bug #243982 are you sure about your postrgresql-base-8.3.1? Maybe you should remove that and use dev-db/libpq instead Also, are you sure about apache-tools trying to link libpq? It shouldn't. By the way, on my system unmasking and emerging dev-db/postgresql-base-8.3.4 will install /usr/lib/postgresql-8.3/lib/libpq.so.5.1 with the usual symlinks in the same directory and also two symlinks from /usr/lib/libpq.a and /usr/lib/libpq.so On the other hand, dev-db/libpq-8.3.1 is not only ~* but also currently package.mask'ed (see the same bug #243982 as above) so I didn't go further with tests. Hope this helps.
