I was installing linux_base; it seems to be required, since I was getting an error about libintl.so.4 - then again, I also updated gmake via 'portupgrade -r gmake', so that may have solved the problem.

Sorry about the misleading context =)

Simply trying to install postgresql - the message I included is what the system prints out when installing from the ports collection.

Er, what directory were you in when you did the make install? The only port that produces the message below is ports/emulators/linux_base, which is definately not a dependency of postgresql, nor of any of its dependents.

While installing postgres I get the following:


You need to create the null device in your jailed Linux environment. Run this outside the jail, then press enter:

mkdir -m 0755 -p <Jail root dir>/dev
rm -f <Jail root dir>//compat/linux/dev/null
mknod <Jail root dir>//compat/linux/dev/null c 2 2
chmod 666 <Jail root dir>//compat/linux/dev/null


Do I HAVE to make a jail? I was just going to run the postgresql port on my FreeBSD box, sans-condom. The box only has one user and there are no security concerns to speak of.

-R




PostgreSQL is available via the FreeBSD ports system. It does not require a jail or linux emulation.

What are you trying to do?
