Hi Andrew, thanks for your tip. It worked. And also, sorry for the delay in replying. Actually, the first time I tested your suggestion I just got confused by the broken dialog(1) that warns me to backup the data. The following dialog was also broken (choose multilingualism, kerberos ...). So setting the PATH this way gets postgresql7 compiled OK, but breaks the initial ports dialogs. So again, yes, it works, but I don't know what I choosed at the dialog step ... I don't mind about kerberos, because I don't have it installed, but I don't know how multilingualism can affect my postgresql installation. Also, and now trying to get to the maintainers, if what Andrew proposed gets the port to compile (and this agreed with the steps detailed by Novoselov, this means that there is something in the ports Makefile (or perhaps the problem is with some of the more general bsd.*.mk files?) that is altering the environment, and more specifically the PATH, so that some private configuration within postgres is failing. I'm a newbie with respect to porting and compiling stuff, but perhaps the ports Makefile can provide for a fix, perhaps running Gen_fmgrtab.sh with an unmodified PATH, and see if this solves the problem? In the meantime, a message could be added warning users of this. Perhaps a very first dialog: "If the compilation fails try running 'env -i PATH=$PATH make' instead of 'make'. Some users have found this to get the port to compile. We are working in getting this solved." Thanks all for your time, Fernan | | HTH, | | Andrew | +----] -- F e r n a n A g u e r o http://genoma.unsam.edu.ar/~fernan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
