Re: postgresql on gentoo

It took me a while, but I finally figured out that the citext module did
not require a recompile, it just required all the compile information,
specifically the config.status file, which wasn't there.
After I extracted the sources and ran ./configure for postgresql, the
contrib module compiled very nicely.

I would think that emerge would keep all those sometimes needed
configuration files in the directory with the Makefile
