Configure fails to believe postgres is installed and fails because postgres was required by the ebuild-supplied configure command line options. It fails to believe postgres is installed because the link to -lpq fails due to missing libraries (missing on the link line, that is). Modifying the configure script to add missing libraries (I added -lssl -lcrypto -lcrypt which may be overkill) allowed the configure to proceed, but the the compile failed later: gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I/var/tmp/portage/aide-0.10/work/aide-0.10/src -I.. -I/usr/include -I/var/tmp/portage/aide-0.10/work/aide-0.10/include -I/var/tmp/portage/aide-0.10/work/aide-0.10 -I/var/tmp/portage/aide-0.10/work/aide-0.10/src -static -mcpu=athlon-xp -O2 -pipe -static -c db_sql.c db_sql.c: In function `db_readline_sql_int': db_sql.c:165: error: `conf' undeclared (first use in this function) db_sql.c:165: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once db_sql.c:165: error: for each function it appears in.) db_sql.c: In function `db_readline_sql_char': db_sql.c:194: error: `conf' undeclared (first use in this function) db_sql.c: In function `db_readline_sql_byte': db_sql.c:226: warning: passing arg 1 of `db_readline_sql_char' from incompatible pointer type db_sql.c:229: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast db_sql.c: In function `db_readline_sql_time': db_sql.c:236: warning: passing arg 1 of `db_readline_sql_char' from incompatible pointer type db_sql.c:239: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast db_sql.c: In function `db_readline_sql': db_sql.c:255: error: `conf' undeclared (first use in this function) db_sql.c:278: warning: passing arg 1 of `db_readline_sql_byte' from incompatible pointer type db_sql.c:279: warning: passing arg 1 of `db_readline_sql_byte' from incompatible pointer type db_sql.c:280: warning: passing arg 1 of `db_readline_sql_byte' from incompatible pointer type db_sql.c:281: warning: passing arg 1 of `db_readline_sql_byte' from incompatible pointer type db_sql.c:283: warning: passing arg 1 of `db_readline_sql_byte' from incompatible pointer type db_sql.c:284: warning: passing arg 1 of `db_readline_sql_byte' from incompatible pointer type db_sql.c:285: warning: passing arg 1 of `db_readline_sql_byte' from incompatible pointer type db_sql.c:287: warning: passing arg 1 of `db_readline_sql_char' discards qualifiers from pointer target type db_sql.c:288: warning: passing arg 1 of `db_readline_sql_char' discards qualifiers from pointer target type db_sql.c:290: warning: passing arg 1 of `db_readline_sql_int' discards qualifiers from pointer target type db_sql.c:291: warning: passing arg 1 of `db_readline_sql_int' discards qualifiers from pointer target type db_sql.c:292: warning: passing arg 1 of `db_readline_sql_int' discards qualifiers from pointer target type db_sql.c:293: warning: passing arg 1 of `db_readline_sql_int' from incompatible pointer type db_sql.c:294: warning: passing arg 1 of `db_readline_sql_int' discards qualifiers from pointer target type db_sql.c:296: warning: passing arg 1 of `db_readline_sql_int' from incompatible pointer type db_sql.c:296: warning: passing arg 3 of `db_readline_sql_int' makes integer from pointer without a cast db_sql.c:297: warning: passing arg 1 of `db_readline_sql_int' from incompatible pointer type db_sql.c:298: warning: passing arg 1 of `db_readline_sql_int' discards qualifiers from pointer target type db_sql.c:300: warning: passing arg 1 of `db_readline_sql_time' from incompatible pointer type db_sql.c:301: warning: passing arg 1 of `db_readline_sql_time' from incompatible pointer type db_sql.c:302: warning: passing arg 1 of `db_readline_sql_time' from incompatible pointer type db_sql.c:304: error: structure has no member named `acl' db_sql.c:310: warning: return discards qualifiers from pointer target type db_sql.c: In function `db_get_sql': db_sql.c:427: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast db_sql.c:440: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast I cannot help but notice that indeed gcc is correct that "conf" is missing from the function. It seems unlikely that this is a missing global variable since the function above it gets conf passed into it. Having exceeded my interest in a program I don't actually use, I pass this on to someone who may care more. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge postgresql 2. emerge aide 3.
