 ebuild /var/db/pkg/dev-db/postgresql-7.3.2/postgresql-7.3.2.ebuild

if I do this I get

/usr/sbin/ebuild.sh: line 1065: pkg_config: command not found ...

thought using ~x86 ... so I shall not complain.

[Comment 5 Clemens Schwaighofer 2003-03-13 23:25:57 UTC]

with a new sync, portage and rebuild posgres 7.3.2 ebuild ... config works.

[Comment 6 Masatomo Nakano (RETIRED) 2003-03-30 22:41:03 UTC]

fixed
