I do indeed enter there now. I've emerged it without threads or pam as I suspected it may have been either of them but that hasn't seemed to solve much of anything.
The current error I'm getting is: # /etc/init.d/postgresql-9.1 start * Starting PostgreSQL ... * start-stop-daemon: did not create a valid pid in * `/var/lib/postgresql/9.1/data/postmaster.pid' * Check the PostgreSQL 9.1 log for a detailed explanation of the * above error. [ !! ] Which is what happens when start-stop-daemon fails to execute its command. I'm not entirely sure what start-stop-daemon is or what permissions it may need or be missing so I'm about to look into that. I seem to be getting somewhere at least. Thanks again for the help!
