 |
|
While attempting to emerge PostgreSQL, I ran into the following problem
| Code: |
root@spock hkw2 # emerge postgresql
...
checking for jakarta-ant... no
checking for ant... /usr/bin/ant
checking whether /usr/bin/ant works... no
configure: error: ant does not work
!!! ERROR: dev-db/postgresql-7.3.2 failed.
!!! Function src_compile, Line 81, Exitcode 1
!!! (no error message)
root@spock hkw2 #
|
Ant installed just fine (although I'm not sure why it is required), but apprently postgres chokes when trying to use it. I've tried running an `USE="-ant" emerge postgresql`, but to no avail. Any help would be great!
Thanks. |

Not exactly sure what is causing your problem, but chances are Ant is getting installed because you have the "java" use variable, and postgresql wants to make the JDBC drivers.
re-emerge with
USE="-java" emerge postgresql
and that should bypass (but not solve) your problem.
If in the future you need jdbc, you can also get them from the jdbc-postgresql packages (under the dev-java portage tree). |

| Often such is related to JDK 1.4.1 which is bad. Try to use JDK 1.3.1. And/or downgrade ant. Later you can upgrade both jdk and ant and use JDBC without problems. |
