I want to install postgresql, but emerge postgresql doesn't work. After a while configuring my computer says:
checking for jakarta-ant... no
checking for ant... /usr/bin/ant
checking whether /usr/bin/ant works...

But it doesn't go any further. Linux isn't crasht, I cna still use any other console. Does anybody know what to do?

no java installation found

But i have emerged sun-jdk sun-j2ee and also the blackdown jdkand jre. What am I doing wrong?!

that did not work, it was the first thing I tried. I just followed the gentoo manual, but java-config can't find my installation...

I had to copy ant.jar from some jakarta-tomcat system (to /usr/share/ant/lib/ ) before ant worked and postgresql configure stopped complaining. After that emerge went fine.

O yes and I needed to fiddle with java-config, (blackdown was the only VM installed but not promoted to system VM) and ant somehow didn't end up as a java-config CLASSPATH package, so had to do that manually also. This is probably what somebody in the other thread got fixed by re-emerging ant.

My EUR .02,

If you don't need java support with PostgreSQL (I didn't) you can always set your USE var to include -java and emerge PostgreSQL. It'll build find without it. Try:

Code:
USE="-java" emerge postgres


You can refer this and this on gentoo-user mailing list.
