2.6.9 is probably not new enough to work with the latest versions of PostgreSQL. I think PgSQL 9.0 support was brought with libpqxx 3.0
http://pgfoundry.org/pipermail/libpqxx-general/2011-January/thread.html ^ This is about the only information that I could find, and it suggests that even libpqxx-3.1 (not in portage yet) is too old for postgres 9. However even after manual downgrading I did not find a working combination...

Hmm this looks like in your case the postgresql driver is not even built. Can you try two things please: 1) enabling the postgres useflag on qt-sql, rebuilding qt-sql, then rebuilding kexi? 2) upgrading libpqxx to newest version in portage, then rebuilding kexi (with --nodeps if necessary)? In each case it's interesting * whether there is something like usr/lib64/kde4/kexidb_postgresdriver.so or similar * and whether you can select postgres database in the dialog Thanks!

No emerge possible w/o the deps. How could we tell the emerge package to link directly with libpqxx-3.0.2 ? Many thanks !
I just changed the kexi ebuild. In an hour or so it should also accept libpqxx-3.*
Ok, it is now working fine, Thank you Andreas, you made it greatly, See you
OK thanks... dependencies have been fixed.
