/sw/bin/pg_config exists as a symlink to /sw/opt/postgresql-9.1/bin/pg_config, which is present. Permissions for both are 755, owned by root/admin, at every step of the path (except for /sw, which is also 755 but is owned by root/wheel), so the inability to find them shouldn't be due to bad permissions. Following the implication that something may be wrong with my postgresql installation, I tried reinstalling postgresql91-dev. When I then tried to build php5 again, I got the same error. I tried rebuilding postgresql91-dev. Again, same error. I finally tried purging postgresql91, postgresql91-dev, and postgresql91-shlibs, and deleted the debs and tarball. Then I installed php5 without separately reinstalling postgresql91, to force fink to redownload the tarball and rebuild the debs from scratch as part of the php5 build to fill the dependency. And yet again, still the exact same error. I verified after each time that I tried building php5 that /sw/bin/pg_config existed as a symlink to an existent /sw/opt/postgresql-9.1/bin/pg_config. The next step in this progression, I suppose, would be to purge all of the dependencies of postgresql91 et al. and rebuild them from scratch, possibly recursively for all of the dependencies' dependencies, but now we're getting to a level that surely would invoke diminishing returns--the fact that postgresql91 et al. build without errors suggests to me that their dependencies are not likely to be at fault. I have verified that I do not have another installation of postgresql elsewhere on my system that might cause confusion. The closest I come to that is fink installations of mysql and sqlite, but both of those are listed as dependencies for php5 as well, so I wouldn't expect them to interfere with finding postgresql. One odd tangential thing I noticed during the rebuild from scratch is that postgresql91 needed system-openssl-dev to build and so fink removed openssl100-dev, but php5 needed openssl100-dev to build and so fink removed system-openssl-dev. I'm not suggesting that this is a possible cause of my problem, but I thought it was interesting that one package has a dependency that conflicts with a dependency of a different dependency of the first package. They're listed as compile-time dependencies only in both cases, so it certainly shouldn't affect either package running as needed. So, what's the next suggestion for me to try? I'm out of ideas.
