What do you mean by 'new' ? There is one already, controlled by postgres useflag.

Which I could have learned from your build log, had you attached it. Check if that header is installed and 'eselect postgresql'.
eselect postgresql list Available PostgreSQL Slots 9.0 * server-9.0.4 base-9.0.4 From what I can see only /usr/include/postgresql-9.0/libpq/libpq-fs.h is available.

Reemerge dev-db/postgresql-base. You may have been nicked by a change in the patch set. Additionally, you should see 'libpq-fe.h' in /usr/include.
Didn't fix it, /usr/include/postgresql-9.0/libpq-fe.h is present.
If /usr/include/postgresql-9.0/libpq-fe.h is present, but /usr/include/libpq-fe.h is not, that pobably means something has gone wrong during eselect, reselect it.
Problem was with eselect, regarding to the 'old' /usr/lib64/postgres and /usr/share/postgres
So, what to do? I'm stumbling over the same problem, still being with 8.4.8-r1 (9.0 not present). Trying to reselect 8.4 results in: Setting 8.4 as the default installation... Removing old links...!!! Error: The target '/usr/lib64/postgresql' still exists and could not be removed! exiting

Error: The target '/usr/lib64/postgresql' > still exists and could not be removed! > exiting Basically... you have to remove all directories that have a 'non version suffix' so that means removing /usr/lib64/postgresql /usr/share/postgresql etc. Then the reselection will work.
thx, solved! (so that was cruft from non-slotted times?)
I had the same problem and the resolution above worked for me. The installation of dev-libs/cyrus-sasl-2.1.23-r4 was failing with: sql.c:192:22: error: libpq-fe.h: No such file or directory So, after reading this bug, I let the eselect identify the directories that had to be removed as follows, and just repeatedly removed what was being identified as a problem directory. After completing the removals, I successfully built dev-libs/cyrus-sasl-2.1.23-r4. Here's my session showing the error and removals thereafter. atom home # eselect postgresql list Available PostgreSQL Slots 9.0 * server-9.0.4-r2 base-9.0.5 docs-9.0.5 9.1 server-9.1.1 base-9.1.1 docs-9.1.1 atom home # eselect postgresql set 9.1 Setting 9.1 as the default installation...
