The problem is with the dev-libs/cyrus-sasl. If it needs *.a files, then it need to depend on dev-db/postgresql[static-libs]. Further, the configure script should use one of the correct tools: pkg-config or pg_config. But, just passing the right path to it as part of the argument to econf (or whatever) will do the trick. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 538042 *** |
When building dev-libs/cyrus-sasl-2.1.26-r9:2::gentoo USE="berkdb gdbm pam postgres ssl -authdaemond -java -kerberos -ldapdb -mysql -openldap -sample (-selinux) -sqlite -srp -static-libs -urandom" With dev-db/postgresql-9.6.3-r1:9.6::gentoo already installed. cyrus-sasl builds & installs correctly, but I get error "SQL engine 'pgsql' not supported" when using it. When building verbosely, I get the following: configure: WARNING: PostgreSQL Library not found Which is because the cyrus-sasl configure script searches libpq.a only on the following locations(considering --prefix=/usr) /usr/lib/pgsql/libpq.a /usr/local/lib/pgsql/libpq.a /usr/lib/pgsql/libpq.a /usr/lib/libpq.a /usr/local/lib/libpq.a /usr/lib/libpq.a /usr/pgsql/lib/libpq.a /usr/local/pgsql/lib/libpq.a /usr/pgsql/lib/libpq.a However, libpq.a is located under /usr/lib/postgresql-9.4/lib64/libpq.a , and it's a link to libpq.so in the same directory. On /usr/lib, there's no symlink to libpq.so named libpq.a. I think the configure script should be changed so "libpq.so" is used instead of "libpq.a". Also, if the --with-pgsql ("postgres" USE flag) argument is given, it should fail immediatelly, instead of building without PostgreSQL support. Other solution would be for the dev-db/postgresql or app-eselect/eselect-postgresql to add such symlink, in order to ease de compilation of apps which require libpq.a My current solution was to "ln -s /usr/lib/libpq.so /usr/lib/libpq.a".
