Installation on Gentoo

  • The ebuilds that should be used are dev-db/postgresql-server-*, since they are newer and modularized instead of monolithic (old ebuilds are dev-db/postgresql).
  • There can be a problem with the postgres USE flag of php. It can pull in libpq which would block the modularized postgresql-server package. The solution is to build postgresql-server first (removing libpq if already installed), then rebuild PHP. This will probably be done automatically once postgresql-server is stabilized.
  • Similarly you need a version of psycopg (Python driver for Postgresql) that does not depend on libpq (2.0.10 is fine but unstable at the time of this writing).
