* You can use the '/etc/init.d/postgresql' script to run PostgreSQL instead of 'pg_ctl'.

I'm not able to find anything remotely useful online. This is an old system, so there could be some old nastiness laying around. That said, a revdep rebuild found no problems.
Any thoughts?

try removing that version and emerge these:
| Code: | virtual/postgresql-base
virtual/postgresql-server
|
You may need to unmask/keyword these packages:
| Code: | virtual/postgresql-base
virtual/postgresql-server
dev-db/postgresql-base
dev-db/postgresql-server
app-admin/eselect-postgresql |
You can then run the latest 8.4 version
