Hi, I am trying to build PostgreSQL 8.4 in my Gentoo prefix, and so did a: emerge -va '<dev-db/postgresql-server-8.5' I got through everything until it tried to build postgresql 8.4, then failed with:

--prefix=/usr/lib/postgresql-8.4 to it.... obviously this is incorrect. However, looking through the ebuild, I cannot see how to change this. By the way, PostgreSQL 9.0 builds just fine. Thanks, regards, Asfand
Created attachment 266719 [details] ebuild configuring
Give 8.4.7-r1 from the main gentoo-x86 tree a shot.
hmmm, is that version supposed to be Prefix Proof(tm)?
Correction: this happens while building postgresql-base - it doesn't get as far as postgresql-server. 8.4.6 is the latest version in the 8 series that is in the prefix, hence the bug report. The next one up is 9.0.2, which I cannot use due to needing to stay close in terms of version numbers to what is used in my organization. What do I have to put in the ebuild file to make it pass a --prefix of ${EPREFIX}/usr/lib/postgresql-8.4 ? That should fix the problem.
I have to bring in the .7 for -base still. I hope this afternoon.
Fabian: I've moved the ebuilds to EAPI3 and have done all the ${D} to ${ED}, ${ROOT} to ${EROOT} conversions. Should require little more than a copy/paste. I do have to fix a typo in postgresql-base-9.0.3-r1.ebuild, but that's about it.
And I fixed the typo, so 9.0.3-r1 should be good now.
Well, having dug a bit further, I produced a patch which makes 8.4.6 compile. Attached.
Created attachment 266835 [details, diff] Let postgresql-base-8.4.6 compile
ebuilds are now from gx86, please reevaluate
Latest ebuilds work for me - postgresql-base and postgresql-server 8.4.7-r2 are both installed on my x86/debian prefix
