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 "Sim Zacks" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > I just installed postgresql on a new gentoo server using emerge and I would > like to add the citext module for a case insensitive text type.
