I have a symlink: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 38 May 9 08:52 /usr/include/libpq-fe.h -> /usr/include/postgresql-8.4/libpq-fe.h It gets set by eselect postgresql. Can you check if and why this symlink is missing on your system?

It was not created until I ran 'eselect postgresql --setall 8.4' even though eselect postgresql already showed 8.4 as being the 'active' version and I would expected (from the help description) 'eselect postgresql --update' to have created it. newton ~ # ls -l /usr/include/libpq-fe.h ls: cannot access /usr/include/libpq-fe.h: No such file or directory newton ~ # eselect postgresql --show 8.4 newton ~ # eselect postgresql --show-all Utilities: 8.4 Service: 8.4 newton ~ # eselect postgresql --update newton ~ # ls -l /usr/include/libpq-fe.h ls: cannot access /usr/include/libpq-fe.h: No such file or directory newton ~ # eselect postgresql --set-all 8.4 newton ~ # ls -l /usr/include/libpq-fe.h lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 38 May 9 10:53 /usr/include/libpq-fe.h -> /usr/include/postgresql-8.4/libpq-fe.h newton ~ # eselect postgresql --list Available postgresql installations 8.4 <-* <-S base-8.4.3 docs-8.4.3 server-8.4.3
On a "clean" install, the symbolic link is created properly by the dev-db/postgresql-base ebuilds. Clean being the first time the PostgreSQL libraries are installed or the obsolete dev-db/libpq is un-merged prior to emerging dev-db/postgresql-base. If dev-db/libpq is un-merged after dev-db/postgresql-base, all sorts of nasty things can happen, including the removal of symbolic links and header files. The transition to EAPI2 in the ebuilds didn't take into account that '!' is a soft block and that '!!' returns to the previous behavior. The upcoming commit should resolve this bug if that's the case.
The -r1's have been committed to the tree. This bug should be resolved.
Reopen if it's still an issue
It is working OK for me now.
