Thanks I am doing it all the hard way.
I will do it again when I can find time.

Description: 8.4.1 compile fails on debian can't find libdl
Our Debian packager would certainly have complained before now if PG
didn't build on Debian. I suspect that you have forgotten to install
some needed support files. Does Debian have the equivalent of -devel
subpackages? If so you're probably missing whatever -devel package
goes with libdl.
debian provides friendly package building tools:
http://packages.debian.org/source/sid/postgresql-8.4
# install all build dependancies for postgresql-8.4
apt-get build-dep postgresql-8.4
# build it with debian defaults etc
apt-get source -b postgresql-8.4
# or only get the sources
apt-get source postgresql-8.4
If you want to tweak the debian options choices, see apt-build.
And if the problem is related to building client or server tools for
postgresql, then you have the -devel kind of packages:
apt-get install postgresql-server-dev-8.4 libpq-dev
