I found a solution to my posted error and am posting what "works
for me" incase
there is someone experiencing the same error with the (variant

added to a php5 build via macports.
I am doing this on a Mac (PowerBook). With a freash install of
Tiger (10.4.8)
with MacPorts version 1.320.
I examined the INSTALL notes in the source package of PostgresSQL
8.1.5.
In the notes you will find, "It is recommended to use (gmake)
version 3.76.1 or later."
Via MacPorts I then installed gmake :
# sudo port -v install gmake
This results in a port install of GNU Make 3.81.
I then again tried to build Php5 with the variant +postgresql
option and still
got the error.
From here I saw two choices:
a.) Build from source via - http://www.postgresql.org/download/
b.) Install the binary package of PostgreSQL offered by Marc
Liyanage at:
http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/postgresql/
I choose option "b.)" and modified the php5 Portfile to reflect the
reflect the
Marc Liyanage package install before I attempted my next port php5
build and install:
variant postgresql {
configure.args-append --with-pgsql=/usr/local/bin\
--with-pdo-pgsql=/usr/local/bin
}
The build and install of php5 finally completed without any errors.
php5 @5.2.0_0+apache2+darwin_8+macosx+mysql5+postgresql+snmp (active)
Another reason I choose the package installation is because of the
pgsql-startupitem-1.2.pkg.
It installs a great "auto start" process that works well.
Hope some of this helps someone attempting to browse the list
looking for a possible solution
or "work around" to the variant +postgresql option added to a port
install of php5.
You should not have to reach to anything outside of MacPorts to make
this work. If you do, that's a bug in a portfile that should be fixed.
MacPorts's PostgreSQL also includes a launch services item which
should be able to start the server at startup. With most ports, you
would install the port with the "+server" variant. This applies to
e.g. mysql5 and to the old postgresql8 port. However, the newer
current postgresql81 port does not offer this; instead it seems
you're supposed to install the postgresql81-server port instead.
However, the php5 port variant "+postgresql" depends on the
postgresql81 port, not the postgresql81-server port.
Does this work together? How did the authors of the postgresql81-
server port and the +postgresql variant of the php5 port intend these
options to work together?
