Subject: [pgadmin-support] gentoo, anyone?
Hi,
Hi,
I've been trying to get pgadmin3 running on gentoo linux, and get the following errors:
checking pgsql in /usr... failed
configure: error: you must specify a valid pgsql installation with --with-pgsql=DIR
!!! ERROR: dev-db/pgadmin3-1.0.2 failed. !!! Function econf, Line 365, Exitcode 1 !!! econf failed
Did you try:
./configure --with-pgsql=/usr/local
No. See, the deal with gentoo is you don't run the typical .configure and make commands to build your packages. Rather you use 'emerge,' which is a command to build packages in gentoo linux.
Postgresql is installed, pgsql lives in /usr/local. I've symlinked it to /usr/pgsql thinking that would fix it, but it doesn't. Is there a way to pass the --with-pgsql option to emerge?
What's emerge?
something like BSD ports and debian packages. You sync up with the mothership tree to stay current. Normally one would handle .configre [options] with a setting in a variable called $USE, but I'm not able to find it in this case.
And I didn't know it was required to have postgresql installed on the same box -- my postgres servers are all remote.
You need it for the libpq client library. The server itself doesn't need to be running, or even initdb'ed. If you make a static build of pgAdmin, then you can even get rid of it after your build is complete.
Regards, Dave.
